Waste Truck/Bay Quantity Calculator

Please check.

  • To reduce disposal costs, waste must be classified by type (waste concrete, waste wood, mixed waste, etc.]. 'Mixed waste,' which is disposed of as a combination, has the highest unit cost.
  • Do not confuse the volume unit 'cubic meter (㎥]' with the weight unit 'ton (t].' Since stones and tiles weigh significantly relative to their volume, it is essential to check the vehicle's load capacity.
  • For small amounts of waste, please use standard bags (sacks] designated by the local government or waste stickers. Please be careful, as unauthorized dumping without reporting may result in a fine.
  • Please check the loading space and access ramp height in advance when dispatching a vehicle. Underground parking lots are often difficult for even 1-ton box trucks to enter, so a separate loading plan is required.
  • When contracting with a demolition company, be sure to check whether waste disposal fees are included. If charged separately, this is an item that frequently leads to disputes on-site due to additional transportation or disposal costs.

Waste Truck/Sack Quantity Calculator, Demolition/Interior Waste Volume Calculation Guide

Are you wondering how many 1-ton trucks you need to call because your demolition waste is piled up like a mountain? The most difficult thing to predict during interior demolition is the volume of waste. It may look small when stacked on the ground, but its volume expands significantly once loaded onto a truck. If you input the volume of the piled waste, this calculator accurately calculates the number of 1-ton trucks required, as well as the estimated quantities of 20kg PP bags and air cargo bags (ton bags].

Waste Volume and Truck Calculation Formula

The waste management industry provides estimates based on the volume unit, cubic meters (m³].

Total waste volume
Total cubic meters (m³] = Width (m] × Length (m] × Height (m]

Example: If stacked to a height of 1m in a space 2m wide and 2m long, it becomes 4m³ (4 cubic meters].

Number of trucks needed
Number of units required = Total volume ÷ Safe loading capacity per vehicle

Considering the safe loading height of a 1-ton truck, approximately 2.5 m³ (2.5 cubic meters] is calculated as one unit.

Detailed Guide to Calculator Input Items

Please check the characteristics of the waste and the size of the space at the site for an accurate estimate.

1. Select waste type

Select the type of waste, such as mixed waste containing wood, plaster, etc., heavy concrete/bricks, or bulky insulation/styrofoam. The weight and volumetric specific gravity vary depending on the type.

2. Waste loading area and height

Enter the width and length of the space where the trash is piled up. For the height, please estimate and enter approximately 0.5m for knee height and 1m for waist height.

3. Transport vehicle specifications

Select a vehicle suitable for the construction environment, choosing between a 1-ton truck capable of entering urban alleys (load capacity approx. 2.5 cubic meters] or a larger capacity 2.5-ton truck.

Average Load Capacity Guide by Vehicle

Vehicle types Allowable Load Volume (Average] note
1-ton truck 약 2.5 ~ 3.0 m³ When loading up to the height of the handrail
2.5-ton truck 약 5.0 ~ 6.0 m³ About twice the size of a 1-ton truck
5-ton grapple truck 약 10 ~ 12 m³ Glass for bulk wood/furniture processing
Amroll box 약 10 ~ 20 m³ The method of leaving boxes at the site

Expert Know-how and Checklists

It is know-how to save on processing costs and manage the site efficiently.

  • Separate Waste by Type (Cost-Saving Tips]

    Waste disposal costs are highest when the waste is mixed. You can save more than 30% on disposal costs by disposing of materials such as wood and concrete in separate bags.

  • Considering voids (empty spaces]

    You may need more trucks than necessary due to the empty spaces between the waste. Drywall and furniture should be broken into as many pieces as possible to increase loading efficiency.

  • Guide to Selecting Sack Types

    Small-scale sites primarily use portable PP bags (small bags], while large air cargo bags (ton bags] are used for large volumes or where equipment operation is feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ]

  • Q. If a 1-ton truck is loaded full, is it automatically 1 ton?
  • A. No. Light loads like styrofoam are bulky but light in weight, whereas materials like concrete, when fully loaded, exceed 2 to 3 tons, putting a strain on the vehicle or making it subject to enforcement.
  • Q. Which is cheaper, waste stickers or truck dispatch?
  • A. For small quantities of less than 10 bags, waste bags from the community center are inexpensive, while for large quantities of more than half a 1-ton truck, it is more efficient to call a company to handle them by truck.
