Best Answer

About 38.49 5 gallon buckets in a cubic yard.

a 5 gallon bucket is 10 inches at the bottom

11 inches at the top

and 14 inches tall

so it holds .02598 of a cubic yard

or .7 cubic foot

or 1212.262 cubic inches

and the about part depends on compaction.

You did not mention what size bucket, so I will convert gallons to cu. yards. 1 gal(US Liq) = 0.004951 yd³ So 202- 1 gallon buckets or about 50-5 gallon buckets= 1 cu yard.

How much does 55 gallon drum of copper wire weigh?

Soil weighs about 2.5 times as much as water, which weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. However, one must estimate the porosity (void space) in the soil. Assuming 30% soil porosity means that one gallon of soil would weigh (0.7 x 2.5 x 8 pounds/gallon) about 14 pounds. Therefore, if full to the brim with soil (relatively dry), the drum would weigh about 770 pounds (that is, 55 gallons x 14 pounds/gallon). In reality, there is a range of possible weights, depending on soil density, moisture content, soil composition, etc.
