Bin Sizes
& Specifications
To determine the appropriate bin or cart sizes
required, it may be necessary to convert cubic yards to gallons, or vice versa.
The following conversion information will enable faster calculations for specific
development plans:
- 1 gallon = 0.00495 cubic yards
- 1 cubic yard = 202 gallons
- Example: 1 cubic yard of solid waste requires approximately two 96-gallon
carts
