May it be local or international.
A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 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. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d. Assume that the truck is able to compact the refuse to 350 kg/ m^3
What is the total tonnage of solid waste to be collected/wk? What is the total weight of waste to be collected everyday? What is the required truck capacity in cubic meters? Which truck should be bought?
