Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

A rough approximate weight is 1600 pounds per loose cubic yard (2300 pounds per bank cubic yard). It depends of the composition of the topsoil, the moisture content, etc.
Note the word "approximate". The above weight per cubic yard can vary considerably in the same geographical area.
If the weight per volume is important, you'll need obtain a sample of the specific material you're interested in and either weigh it yourself or take it to a soils lab for particle and dry weight analysis (recommended).
