Debris Estimating Formulas
Estimating Rule of Thumb:
, 15 trees, 8 inches in diameter = 40 CY
, Single wide mobile home = 290 CY
, Double wide mobile home = 415 CY
, Root system (8’-10’ dia.) = One flat bed trailer to move
, Treat debris piles as a cube, not a cone, when performing estimates.
Average pace = 2’ 6” ,
Formulas
Conversions:
, 27 cubic feet=1 cubic yard
, One mile=5280 feet or 1760 yards
Building formula:
L’xW’ (building footprint) x No. of Stories x 0.2 = _______Cubic Yards of debris
Debris pile formula:
(L’xW’xH’)/27= ______Cubic Yards of debris.
Conversion Factors from Cubic Yards to Tons
, Mixed Construction & Demolition Debris = 500 LBS/CY or CY x 0.25 = Tons
, Yard Vegetation = 300 LBS/CY or CY x 0.15 = Tons , Mulch = 500 LBS/CY or CY x 0.25 = Tons
, Regular Trash = 300 LBS/CY or CY x 0.15 = Tons , Concrete = 2000 LBS/CY or CY x 1.0 = Tons
, Sand = 2600 LBS/CY or CY x 1.3 = Tons
, Land Clearing (Root balls with dirt) 1500 LBS/CY or CY x 0.75 = Tons

The following information will assist you in determining the amount of debris from destroyed buildings and mobile homes:
One Story House Formula:
L’ x W’ x 8’ =cubic yards x 0.33 = _____cubic yards of debris. (The 0.33 factor
accounts for the “air space” in the house)
The table below can be used to estimate debris quantities for a totally ,destroyed typical home. A vegetative debris multiplier is also included.
Amount of personal property (as debris) from average flooded residence without a basement: ,
25-30 cy.
Amount of personal property (as debris) from average flooded residence with a basement: ,

, Double wide mobile home = 415 cy of debris
Rule of Thumb:
, 15 trees 8 inches in diameter = 40 cy (average) , Root system (8’-10’ diameter) = requires one flat bed trailer to move. , To convert cubic yards of Construction and Demolition (C & D) debris to tons, divide by
2.
, To convert tons of C & D debris to cubic yards, multiply by 2. , To convert cubic yards of woody debris to tons, divide by 4*. , To convert tons of woody debris to cubic yards, multiply by 4*.
