- A front loader garbage truck of 40 cu. yd. collects municipal solid waste each week from dumpster bins of apartment complexes located throughout the city. The waste in the truck is compacted to 750 pounds/cu. yd. The uncompacted waste in the dumpster bin is 175 pounds / cu. yd. (For all parts of this question, be sure to show all of your work.)
- A municipal government has hired you to help them with its recycle program. Using the information in Table 2-13 on p. 65 of the textbook, propose three key areas where you would focus the municipal program and give your reasons for your proposals. In your answer, be sure to discuss how this program would affect the population of the municipality. (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 200 words.)
- A mobile phone is comprised of 15.5% of copper, and nickel and silver comprise 2.5% as broken down on p. 66, Fig 2-15. These three metals represent 83% of the potential toxicity that the components of the phone can exert on the environment. Describe how copper is toxic to the environment and how this can affect the residents of an area. (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 200 words.)
- Describe the elements of the Integrated Solid Waste Management program. Give a detailed discussion and explanation as to which element has the greatest potential to affect the success of the program. What science and engineering principles are involved in this program? (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 300 words.)
- How many full dumpster bins with a 3 cu. yd. capacity can be placed into the garbage truck?
- If the apartment complex has a mandatory recycling program and each person places only 4 pounds/day of trash into the dumpster bin, how many people can the garbage truck serve before it is full?
- If the apartment complex has a mandatory recycling program and each person places only 3.5 pounds/day of trash into the dumpster bin, how many more people can the garbage truck serve before it is full?
