I think you will find the 5 tonnes ( is it Imperial ton??) was an estimate based on a landowners fuel wood consumption per year. Residential consumption - not for resale. K

I always took it to be timber, so basically what you would stack up in 2m lengths and extract.

I always took 5 mtr3 to be approximately the same as 37 mature hardwood trees.

Especially when you get them on the grab trailer! They always loose at least 40 % of mass when they hit the floor then a further 15% when you cut to length.

I would guess it depends on what builders bags you get....
Our builders/Landscape merchants have 1.2x1.2 x0.8... So not far off 1m cubed.... 
But to be pedantic ? 5-6 big builders bags or 6-7 smaller builder?

1.2x1.2x0.8 = 1.152 so yes your right its not far of a cubic meter its over and if that bag was full of agregate it would be over 2 tonne and i think you will find legally they can only put 900kgs max in a bag and it is a single use bag only by the builder merchant,
