A city desires to determine the impact of a new subdivision on solid waste collection services. The subdivision will add 150 new houses. A two- person crew will collect the wastes twice a week, using 24-m^3 manually based loaded compactor trucks. The allowable container size is 014 m^3 it is estimated that there will be 3.2 persons per household and that each person will dispose of 2.5 kg of waste daily. Determine the number of containers that will be needed per household, the average container utilization factor, and the weekly labor requirement in person-days. The compaction ratio for the collection vehicle is 2.5 the average density of the solid wastes in the containers is 120 kg/m^3 the disposal site is located 25 km away and the haul time constants a and b are 0.08 h/trip and 0.015 h/km, respectively. Collection is during an 8-h day, collection is at curbside except for elderly persons (about 5 percent) who receive backyard service
