3-19. The mayor of Recycleville has asked you to develop an integrated waste management program. Residents currently pay $10 per month and can put out up to five 32-gallon cans per week. You offer the mayor an automated system with two price options: Container Size (gallons) Option 1 Option 2 $9.00 $12.00 $18.00 $15.00 $27.00 $18.00 32 64 96 In addition, you will provide the residents a 64-gallon commingled recycling container and a 96-gallon green-waste container. b. a. What are the advantages of using the program you developed? Are residents opting for the 96-gallon container paying more for this service? (Hint: Think of the cost per gallon of material.) c. Which price option would likely have the higher recycling rate, and why? Look at the EPA web site for some case studies to support your reasoning. d. What impact would collecting recy- clables one week and collecting green waste the next week have on the recycling rate?

A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste( garbage) collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m3 capacity Truck B, 15 m3 capacity Truck C, 12 m3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill.

From the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residentialarea consisting of 1200 homes. The average occupancy is 4 persons per home. Theobservation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected fordisposal. The observation period was one week.Data:Number of compactor truck loads = 10Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd3Number of flatbed loads = 6Average flatbed volume = 3 yd3Number of loads from individual residents’ private cars and trucks = 20 Estimatedaverage volume per domestic vehicle = 9 ft3

A yard waste composting windrow has a triangular cross section and is 10 feet wide at the base and 10 feet high at the peak and 100 feet long. You may assume the waste has a specific weight of 400 Ib/yd^3 as placed in the windrow. The waste material is 40-percent biodegradable and has the ultimate composition of C60H95040N. Determine the amount of oxygen required to stabilize the waste (show all work for full credit). Assume the aerobic degradation can be expressed as: (4a + b - 2с + За 02 b - 3d aco, + (").
