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.
I'd say it depends on the type of trash...metal or paper, etc.

It depends on what is in the trash and how much it has been compacted. It may also have a considerable water content.
Trash in bulk can be hauled by a dump truck. You can also haul bulk loads of trash in a pick up truck. There are trash companies you can call if you are unable to get a truck
The weight of a tanker truck depends on its size and carrying capacity. On average they weigh 80,000 pounds empty and can weigh as much as 100,000 pounds when full.
A bread truck is about 2 pounds i think.
2,000 pounds
I think about 9400lbs.
