3. A MSW facility is designed to handle solid waste generated by a town at a rate of 75,000 kg/d. The waste is delivered by compactor truck 4 days/week, and 30% of the waste is recycled. The density of the disposed waste before compaction is 120 kg/m3. The waste is compressed to a compaction ratio of 4.0. Daily cover takes up 20% of the total landfill cell volume, and a single lift is 3.5 m high. Engineers have designed the landfill for two lifts, and a total of 6.0 hectares are available for this MSW landfill. Calculate how long (in years) it will take to fill up this landfill as designed.
