How much does it weigh, and what that means for your dumpster? Weight data for common demolition materials.
150 lb/ft³, about 4,050 lbs per cubic yard. Slab weights by thickness.
2,000 to 2,700 lbs per cubic yard by type and moisture.
2.2 to 3.1 lbs per square foot, by wood species.
A kiln-dried 2x4x8 is 8 to 11 lbs, plus the pressure-treated catch.
50–80 lbs per bundle, 200–350 per square. Why roofing fills weight caps fast.
A 1/2" 4x8 sheet is ~51 lbs. Volume-limited: fills the container before the weight cap.
~4 lbs/ft² ceramic, ~5 porcelain. The mortar bed underneath often weighs more than the tile.
0.5 to 0.8 lb/ft² plus padding. Volume-limited: bulky and springy, it fills a dumpster fast.
All estimates based on EPA guidelines, industry standards, and engineering best practices.
