Waste Handling

Equipment Selection
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.
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.
