c). Estimate the landfill area need to handle one year’s Municipal Solid Waste for a town of 20,000 people, if the per capita national average discard is 3kgs per day, there is no combustion, with a landfill density of 1,000kg/cu.m., and one 4m lift per year. Assume 20 percent of the cell volume is soil used as cover.
