Demolition Waste Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Total Weight of Demolition Waste:

\[ WW = V \times D \]

Where:

\(WW\) is the total waste weight (lbs)
\(V\) is the volume of demolished material (cubic yards)
\(D\) is the material density (lbs per cubic yard)

Demolition Waste Definition

Demolition waste consists of debris generated during the demolition of buildings, roads, and other structures. It includes a variety of materials such as concrete, wood, metals, glass, and plastics. Proper management and disposal of demolition waste are crucial to minimize environmental impact and comply with regulations.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Volume of Demolished Material (\(V\)) = 50 cubic yards
Material Density (\(D\)) = 1500 lbs per cubic yard

Using the formula:

\[ WW = 50 \times 1500 = 75000 \]

The total waste weight is 75,000 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Volume of Demolished Material (\(V\)) = 30 cubic yards
Material Density (\(D\)) = 2000 lbs per cubic yard

Using the formula:

\[ WW = 30 \times 2000 = 60000 \]

The total waste weight is 60,000 lbs.
