That depends what kind of substance you're filling it with.
Air . . . very few pounds
Water . . . around 450 pounds
Stones or gold . . . a lot more than that

Well, darling, a gallon of sand weighs approximately 12-15 pounds, so a 3-gallon bucket could hold around 36-45 pounds of sand. But let's be real, who's really out here measuring sand by the pound when you can just fill up the darn bucket and call it a day?
A standard 5-gallon bucket has a volume of approximately 0.67 cubic feet or about 18.9 liters. Gold has a density of around 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, which means that a 5-gallon bucket could hold approximately 1,500 pounds of gold. However, this is a theoretical maximum and does not account for practical considerations like the bucket's material strength or weight limitations.
83.4 lbs - excluding the weight of the bucket !
Depends on how big the bucket is.
