A city generates 40 ´ 106 kg of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year, out of which only 10% is recovered/recycled and the rest goes to landfill. The landfill has a single lift of 3 m height and is compacted to a density of 550 kg/m3. If 80% of the landfill is assumed to be MSW, the landfill area (in m2, up to one decimal place) required would be __________.


Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Gate Civil Engineering(CE) 2018 Paper: (Session I) - Question 30

Total weight generated by city = 40 x106 kg/year Weight of MSW going into landfill
