There is no correct answer for this question. Given that "trash" is a general term, the is no consistancy to a cubic yard of trash. A cubic yard of construction material will not weigh the same as a cubic yard of household waste. It also will depend on how dense the material is compacted into the cubic yard. A yard of crumbled up news paper will weigh less than a yard of news print that is layered neatly. A general rule of thumb is a cubic yard of gereral household waste should weigh between 80 to 100 lbs. not compacted.
To convert pounds to cubic yards for trash, you need to know the density of the trash in pounds per cubic yard. The density can vary depending on the type of trash. Once you have the density, you can use the formula: Cubic yards = (Weight in pounds) / (Density in pounds per cubic yard).
To figure out consider this: a dumpster that can enclose 30 cubic yards would have the dimensions approximately of :6feet tall, 22 feet by length and 8 feet wide

Easy to do. Multiply cubic yards by 27 to get cubic feet.
To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, you need to divide the number of cubic feet by 27 since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So, to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide the number of cubic feet by 27.
You don't. Cubic yards is volume while yards is distance.
Converting cubic yards to yards doesn't make sense. Cubic yards measure volume, and yards measure distance.
Divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards= 380/27 yards
