3.1 Estimate the maximum number of residences it can be served per week by a typical compactor truck that has a capacity of 28 yd. The truck can make three trips per day, works for 6 days per week. Assume a generation rate of 4.5 Ib/capita/day, each residence contains 3.5 capita, and the density of solid waste in the truck is 500 Ib/cubic yard.
