How to Measure

Not sure how many pounds of trash you collected? Here’s how to estimate:

  • 2-3 empty bottles: ~1 pound
  • Small plastic grocery bag: ~2-3 pounds
  • Large trash bag (13-gallon): ~10-15 pounds
  • Moving box: ~20-30 pounds
  • 5-gallon bucket: ~10-12 pounds
  • Reusable shopping bag: ~5-8 pounds

Tip: If you have a bathroom scale, weigh your bag before tossing it. If not, use these everyday comparisons!
