Weight of composted chippings

[Dean Lofthouse]

Surely some of the recycling boys should be able to point you in the right direction.

 

At a guess I would go for 500kg a cube. Give or take 500kg

 

I put 4 cube on the back of the landy today and it was heavy, I'd say about 1 and 1/2 ton maybe even two ton.

 

...and that was fairly dry stuff, red hot in the middle composting nicely. If you are delivering stuff that has finished composting and is cold in the middle, it's going to be very wet if stred outside in the rain and will be VERY heavy

Iirc our van can carry approx 6 cube and that weighs approx 2 ton when its fresh.

I once had an outdoor pile of chip. I filled a rolonoff skip and the chip was warm and dry on the inside. I think it was a 40cube bin and it was weighed with 13tons in it. If that's any help.

 

Those skips are 40 cubic yards though, not cubic metres.....
