That depends on what substance you fill the drum with.

-- If you fill it with air, you can only put a few pounds in it.

-- If you fill it with water, it'll hold about 460 pounds.

-- If you fill it with lead or concrete, you can put in a lot more pounds than that.

The unit weight of sand/soil is 105 lbs/cu ft
1-gallon (dry) is equivalent to 0.156 cu ft
So a 55-gallon drum has a capacity of 55*0.156 = 8.58 cu ft

Soil unit weight * drum capacity cu ft = 105*8.58 = 900.9 lbs

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.
