What is the correct amount of sand needed to weigh down cardboard boxes?
)
February 1st, 2012
I run a large non-profit walk-a-thon where we distribute hundreds of cardboard trash receptacles (40 gallon – 18×18 x 30”)over the long route. The problem is that on a windy year, lots of them will fall over. I’m trying to determine how I would figure out how much sand (100 lb/cf) would be necessary to hold down the boxes. The reason is that I need to do this on the large scale and saving money is a premium. Any ideas on how to mathematically figure this out?
