On the site students.arch.utah.edu, it states that 1 million pounds of trash is thrown away per person every year.
The average amount of trash per year that people create is 230 million tons, and most of that amount ends up at a dump. In terms of how much is added to a dump per year that varies depending on how many people live in the area the dump serves and how much waste is brought to the dump.
The trash Americans generate ends up in landfills. Landfills are becoming full and it is a problem to decide what to do with all the trash.
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).
The weight of a cubic yard of trash will depend on what the trash is composed of. For example, a cubic yard of paper weighs about 568 pounds, while a cubic yard of aluminum cans weighs about 63 pounds.
As of now, there are approximately 150 million metric tons (330 billion pounds) of trash in the ocean.
