Equipment Selection

Waste Handling Landfills

For example: Follow the left column down to 45.3 to 136 Metric Tons/day (50 to 150 tons per day) — For MSW Landfills — All the machines marked by ×’s could be utilized. Smaller machines for smaller ton- nages, larger machines for larger tonnages. Depending on budget and required density, and required support activity, a single machine might be used or a combina- tion of machines could be needed.

The below Machine Tonnage and Usage Selection Factor Guide should be considered a ‘rule of thumb.’ To use; find the amount of tonnage/day that the land- fill takes in (left column) — to the right of that column find the possible machines that could be used for that amount of tonnage (marked by an ×). Please note that depending on the type of waste, amount of waste/day, and even amount of waste/hr., a single machine could be utilized or multiple machines might be necessary.
