| Abstract | The solid waste management conditions in Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, and McDowell Counties, North Carolina, were analyzed for the purpose of developing practicable solutions to the problem of improper solid waste disposal in the region. The analysis determined the optimum number and location of regional sanitary landfills which would minimize the combined regional cost of sanitary landfill operation and solid waste transportation. Equipment, personnel, and monetary requirements for a bulk container solid waste collection system serving rural residents and recreational areas currently without collection service were also determined. |
