A garbage truck weighs 18 tons, or 36,000 pounds.
Actually, garbage trucks come in a variety of sizes and functions. For example, you have front loaders, side loaders, roll-offs, etc.
The 18 ton figure... I don't know if it's accurate or not, but it seems reasonable for a loader/compactor. A tandem roll off carrying an empty 30 yard can would weigh in the vicinity of 33,000 lbs. Those would be the empty weights.
What else can I help you with?
