how much does a garbage truck weigh
How much does waste âweighâ in a truck or a landfill? The garbage that most people put in their trashcans is compacted in trash trucks with other garbage and then further compacted in a landfill. At the curbside, a cubic yard of trash will weigh between 100 and 200 pounds. Once it is compacted in a truck, it can weigh 350 to 400 pounds per cubic yard. http://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/OWCM.NSF/d60... Source(s): http://www.environmentalistseveryday.org...
