I need to find an average weight for yardwaste compost in the  Northeast.  
>From our experience, we would use a number of ~1,400 lbs/cy,  taking into 
account that the material will weigh more in the Spring and Winter  and less

in Summer.  
 
Would  everyone agree with this number?  Remember, it's an average for the 
entire  year.
 
Thank you,
