Solid waste production in the United states was 4.3lbs/person-day. Calculate the potential methane production in one year for a land fill that serves a community of 50,000 people. Assume that none of the solid waste is recycled, that all the solid waste can decompose rapidly, and that the density of methane equals 0.717kg/m cubed
