A hazardous material is a hazardous material because of its physical or chemical properties, not because of the amount that may be present. Smaller quantities, however, may be considered to be insignificant, but the amount depends on the particular material.
Average household contains between 3 and 10 gallons of materials classified as hazardous... As per US Fire Administration
It depends on what material makes the gallons and it's specific gravity.
Unless you specify the density of the material, this question can not be answered because gallons is a volume and kg is a mass.
That depends on the density of the material. For example, 280,000 gallons of a perfect vacuum have a mass of zero tonnes.That depends on the density of the material.

Many types of cigarett lighters are regulated as hazardous materials if carried onto an airplane or packed in check baggage, as well as when shipped by air. In other circumstances, only the lighter fluid is considered to be a hazardous material.
There are three (3) packaging groups in the DOT regulations for shipping hazardous materials. Note, however, that some hazard classes have no packaging groups.
Materials that are hazardous to the water environment have been called Marine Pollutants for many years. However, the term is now being replaced by one with a broader meaning - Environmentally Hazardous Substance as part of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS),
A pound is a measure of mass. A gallon is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and it is not sensible to even consider converting from one to the other. If you are not convinced, consider a gallon of water. How many pounds? Next consider a gallon of treacle. How many pounds?
Weight and volume cannot be linked without knowing the density of the liquid/material in question
There are so many different hazardous materials that there is no easy answer to your query other than to say you should consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that comes with each type of hazardous material to see what the best storage policies would be.

A ton is a measure of mass. A gallon is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider 3.5 gallons of air. How many kilograms? Next consider 3.5 gallons of mercury. How many kilograms?
Herbicides contain many different active ingredients, all of which are intended to kill plants and are therefore hazardous materials. To find out what is in a particular herbicide, read the label. For additional information, look at the Safety Data Sheet for that product.
