AnswerClean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. Usually folks figure sand at 100 pcf. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.

So to continue the answer the previous poster made...

Using the 100 pcf average weight for sand, and that there are 27 cubic feet in a yard, then 2 yards is equal to 54 cubic feet and at 100 pcf, the total weight is 5400 lbs, or 2.7 tons.

-------

Sorry, but does PCF not stand for Pound per Cubic Foot? So one yard (at 27 cubic feet) weighs 2700 lbs. (which is 1.35 short tons, or 1.2 metric tons)
