Quantify the number of 60 gallons garbage containers a family of eight peoples will need if they are generating domestic solid waste at rate of 2lb/cap/day having a density of 220lb/yd3 and the collection is once a week. Looking for alternative, how many compacted blocks of 35lb would the family produce if family had a home compactor along with the number of cans required?

Different hazardous wastes were identified in the lecture for MO22. Discuss at least two (2) domestic hazardous wastes that can be found in your home. Discuss how these hazardous waste are manage and disposed in your households. Does your disposal method in compliance to RA 6969 and its IRR?
From the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residential area consisting of 1200 homes. The average occupancy is 4 persons per home. The observation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected for disposal. The observation period was one week. Data: Number of compactor truck loads = 10 Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd³ Number of flatbed loads = 6 Average flatbed volume = 3 yd³ Number of loads from individual residents' private cars and trucks = 20 Estimated average volume per domestic vehicle = 9 ft³
A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. After sorting, some of the solid refuse will be transported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power plant are shown in the following table: Site A Site B Average hauling distance 4.8 km 6.4 km Annual rental fee $40,000 for solid-waste $25,000 site Hauling cost $2/m²-km $2/m²-km If the power plant will pay $8.00 per cubic meter of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city's viewpoint and assume 120,000 cubic meters of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected.
Discuss at least 4 consequences of the inappropriate disposal of refuse. List five factors that must be considered in the collection of Municipal Solid Waste.
Suggest a treatment method on how to properly dispose your solid waste. How are you going to minimize your household solid waste?

Example 7-2 Selection of container size for use at a commercial facility A commercial facility produced the following quantities of solid waste each week for a calendar quarter of operation. Using these waste production data, determine the size of container at which it becomes more cost effective to make extra pickup trips, on call instead of using a larger-sized container. Assume the data given below are applicable. 1. Waste production data Week no. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2.

If you’re planning a solid waste collection program, cite and explain four collection elements that are important
The City of Forty-Five (population 465,565) has requested your assistance in evaluating its solid waste collection system. Determine the mean time per collection stop plus the mean time to reach the next stop, the number of pickup locations per load, and the minimum number of trucks the city must own. The City of Forty-Five collection data are as follows: Average truck capacity = 12.5 m3; Average observed compaction ratio = 2.87 Crew size = 2; Number of pickups = 1 /wk (no rear-of-house service) Average number of cans per stop = 2.63/wk at 0.1136 m3/can Average number of residents per stop = 5 Average uncompacted density = 105.76 kg/m3 Average transport time to disposal site including delays and dumping = 1.78 h/trip Average number of trips to disposal site = 2/d; Rest breaks = 2 at 28.0 min Average maintenance downtime = 37.0 min/d; Average workday = 8.00 h Average percent of trucks out of service for major repairs = 15.0% Number of workday per week = 5
