we already know that the aggregates can be received in a concrete mixer plant both by weight and by volume, and depending on the requirements of the plant, the volumetric factor will be used for their conversion to weight or volume as the case may be. Describe what you understand to be the pros and cons of receiving by weight and receiving by volume (factors to consider, what advantage one has over the other.)

Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.
