Hmm. Just thinking of some of the times I've taken my heavily-laden
unbraked trailer down to the dump... What's a ball-park figure for the
density of rubble?


a tonne per m3


That sounds a bit on the low side to me.
I thought concrete was 2-3 tonnes per m3 so rubble should be close.


Wet concrete is arround 2.5 tonnes per cube, so rubble will be less
due to the air gaps.
