Instead, residents are to haul recycling containers to a drop off centre operated by the community. Calculate the number of vehicles from which recyclable materials must be unloaded per hour at the recycling centre. Assume the centre is open for 8 hours per day, two days a week, and that 40% of the residents will deliver recycling containers. Also assume 75% of the participants will take their separated materials to the drop-off centre once a week and the remaining 25% of participants will bring separated materials to the centre once every two weeks.arrow_forward
