Formulas:
___ feet high X ___ feet wide X ___ feet long = ___ cubic feet/27 cubic feet per cubic yard = ___ cubic yards
___ cubic yards X 27 cubic feet per cubic yard = ___ cubic feet =height X width X length
Example:
The pile is 10 feet high X 30 feet wide X 150 feet long. This equates to about 45,000 cubic feet/27 cubic feet per cubic yard = approximately 1,6666 cubic yards.
___ cubic yards X ___ pounds per cubic yard (waste conversion factor) = ____ pounds/2000 pounds per ton = ____ tons
___ tons X 2000 pounds per ton/pounds per cubic yard = ___ cubic yards X 27 cubic feet per cubic yard = height X width X length
Example:
5000 cubic yards of dry sand X 2400 pounds per yard (sand, dry) = 12,000,000 pounds/2000 pounds per ton = 6000 tons
