1)    A municipal government has agreed to provide once- per- week waste collection services to a new residential community of 10,000 people. The city council has hired you to make a preliminary assessment to determine if they it should build and operate a transfer station to support the collection. For the initial analysis, assume that the community does not have a recycling program. Here is some of the initial data that the municipal engineer has collected. The round- trip distance from the residential community to the landfill is 58 miles.

 

·        The round- trip distance from the proposed site of the transfer station will be 63 miles.

·        Size The size of the residential garbage truck that collects waste from the community is 28 cubic yards.

·        The garbage truck is capable to of compacting the refuse to 650 pounds per cubic yard.

·        A long- haul truck is capable to of transporting 23 tons of compacted waste per trip.

·        The transfer station has a fixed operating cost of $10/ton.

·        The cost to operate the garbage truck is $1.30/mile.

·        The cost to operate the long- haul truck is $0.56/mile.

 

a)    

b)   Using what you have determined from the information above, assess using the principles of solid waste management. Would you recommend to the city council that a transfer station should be built and operated? Show all work on how you came to your answer. Note: Pg.p. 39 - The United Nations (UN) estimates the waste generation rate is 4.8 pound per person per day.

c)    If the community operated a recycling program, would this change or support your recommendation to the city council? Show all work on how you came to your answer. Note: Pgp.. 99 - Table 3.-1 - total Total recycled municipal waste is 34.5% of generation. (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 200 words.)
