Solid waste generation parameters

When acquiring a disposal site, the land area must be large enough to accommodate waste produced by 1000 people over period of at least 20-30 years. It has been documented that 1000 people would require 1 acre of land per annum (USEPA1971). This requirement is considered appropriate especially for developing countries where a higher proportion of waste generated is organic and easily be decomposed.
