what does one cubic yard of general trash weigh?
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.
It depends on what is in the trash and how much it has been compacted. It may also have a considerable water content.
A cubic yard of finely crushed asphalt will weigh about 2,600 pounds
