A town of 14,000 people (about the size of Mandeville) has selected a square site for a new landfill. It has a square 50-acre depression (i.e., hole) with an average depth of 20 ft. The loading factor is 1.4. The max height of the covered landfill is 20 ft above the surrounding ground. If the population generates 50 lb/per day and the average compacted density is 1000 lb/yd, what is the service life of the landfill site? If the population reduces their waste by 30% (thanks to a new recycling initiative), how many years will the service life of the landfill increase?
