A community of 1200 homes cannot pay for the
initial and operating costs of the recycling
collection vehicles that were to be used.
Instead, residents are to haul recycling
containers to a drop off centre operated by the
community. Calculate the number of vehicles
from which recyclable materials must be
unloaded per hour at the recycling centre.
Assume the centre is open for 8 hours per day,
two days a week, and that 40% of the residents
will deliver recycling containers. Also assume
75% of the participants will take their separated
materials to the drop-off centre once a week
and the remaining 25% of participants will bring
separated materials to the centre once every
two weeks.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS, discuss the operational process of waste water treatment plant.
