residential solid waste collection

(OP)
I need to calculate how many trips on each collection day would one t-ton packer truck need to make in order to serve a resudebtuak area if 40 ha. The total number of persons is around 1600 and two curb-side pick-ups per week. we use 1.1kg/capita/day for residential and 0.9kg/capita/day for commercial and special such as leaves, street liter & large discards. Do I need to add these three number together or just use the residential number and the total number of persons? thanks
