More accurately, it's a cubic yard.

  • A cubic yard is a unit of volume. It tells you how much space something occupies. Picture in your head a box that measures three feet on each edge. The space inside that box measures one cubic yard.
  • A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. One cubic foot holds about 7.5 gallons. So, the box above can hold over 200 gallons of liquid -- assuming it is waterproof and won't leak all over the place.
  • If you wish to know how much a cubic yard of dirt weighs, well, that's another kettle of fish. (I'm not sure what system of units the kettle of fish belongs to, but that's an answer to another question.)
  • The weight of a cubic yard of dirt can vary greatly depending upon how much water is in it and how well packed it is. Moist topsoil weighs about 90 pounds per cubic foot, so a yard of it will weigh about 2400 pounds, more or less.

27 cubic feet. A yard of soil, or any bulk material is 1 cubic yard. For soil it is usually one bucketful at the landscape supply. It will typically cover a 12' x 12' area, 3 - 4" deep. If you are figuring for mulch you can use the same measurements. It is a measure of volume, not weight.

I just got seven cubic yards of dirt and it was a dump truck load. It was a couple tons. A cubic foot is aout 100 pounds. So figure 900 pounds per cubic yard.

If you are figuring that the dirt you received was 100lbs per cubic foot, than a cubic yard, which is 27 cubic feet, would weigh 2700lbs. So, 7 cubic yards using your figures of 100lbs per cubic foot should have weighed 18,900lbs.

Absolutely, you can get a vacuum floor sweeper or even something more conventional and affordable. I would suggest something from the Swifter lineup.
