Generally with a ruler or a tape measure. Seriously, any three-dimensional volume which measures 36 inches on all three directions (width, length, height) is a cubic yard. Even if you don't have a perfect cube shape, you can still figure it out. Ex.-- a volume measuring 12 inches (one foot) deep (or high) times 3 feet wide times 9 feet long equals one cubic yard.
