    This document discusses municipal solid waste collection for a neighborhood with a one-way street. It provides calculations to determine: 1) An optimal trash pickup route that services each home once without doubling back. 2) The number of customers that could be serviced by a single trash truck making two runs per day over a five day work week. 3) The annual cost per customer for trash collection based on crew labor costs and annual truck expenses.

    Q&S in MSW collecting

    1- The following neighborhood has a one-way street running east to west. In general,
    trucks can only pick up from one side of the street at a time.

    (a) Assuming pickups can be made from both sides of the street at the same time on the
    one-way street, devise a heuristic route in which no house on the route is passed twice
    (no deadheading).

    (b) If trash can only be picked up from one side of the one-way street at a time (it’s a
    busy street), modify your heuristic pickup route with a minimum of deadheading and
    turns.
    2-How long would it take to fill a 30-yd3 packer truck that compresses waste to 750
    lb/yd3 if it travels 100 ft between stops at an average of 5 mph and it takes 1 minute to
    load 200 lb of waste at each stop? If each stop services four homes and two collection
    runs are made per day, how many customers could be provided with once-per-week
    service by this single truck (assuming a five-day week)?

    1 mile = 5280 ft

    ( stopft ) X 60( min


    100
    hr
    )
    Time/stop = {
    ft mile
    } + 1 min =1.23 min/stop
    5280 (
    mile )
    X 5 ( )
    hr

    3- Consider the following data for a municipal waste collection system:

    Travel time, garage to route: 20 min


    Travel time, route to disposal site: 20 min
    Time to unload at disposal site: 15 min
    Time from disposal site to garage: 15 min
    Time spent on worker breaks: 40 min/day
    Packer truck volume: 25 yd3
    Compaction ratio: 4
    Curb volume per service: 0.2 yd3/customer
    Travel time between stops: 30 sec
    Customers served per stop: 4
    Time loading per stop: 1 min

    t1=20 min
    Garage

    t3=15 min n-1

    rout
    Disposal t2=20 min e
    td=15 min
    (a) How many hours per day would the crew have to work if it fills the truck twice per
    day?

    Time for filling two trucks volume 25 yd3

    y d 3 curb min
    2 X 25 X 4 3(
    y d truck
    X 1.5 ) ( )

    y d3 capita
    0.2 (

    X 4( )

    )

    Time of travels and breaks

    t1 + 3(t2) + 2(td) + t3 + t(worker break)


    min
    20 min +3 X 20 min+2 X 15 min +15 min+ 40 min=165
    day

    Total time = (375 + 165)/60min = 9 hrs./day

    (b) Making two runs per day, how many customers would be served per truck if each
    home has once-per-week service and the truck is used five days per week?

    y d 3 curb capita
    25 ( y d 3 truck ) X 4 ( 3
    y d truck )X(
    0.2 y d3
    )=500 capita/load

    no . of costomers=500 ( capita

    X 2(
    load
    day )
    X 5(
    day
    week )

    ¿ 5000
    truck
    (c) Suppose the cost of a crew for one truck is $40 per hour for the first eight hours per
    day, plus $60 per hour for any hours over that amount. Assume that the crew works 52
    weeks per year: Furthermore, suppose a packer truck has an annualized cost of $10,000 +
    $3,500/yd3. What would be the annual cost of service (crew plus truck) per customer?

    $ hr $ hr day week
    Labor = { ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )} ( ) ( )
