Measure the container example a 50 gallon bin is 46.8" H x 23.3" W x
29.8" D (multiply all these)=32495.112 cubic inches Divide by 1728
Cubic feet inches 12x12x12=1728 The answer is
18.805041666666666666666666666667 CF

Earl:
In terms of liquids, particularly water, one gallon weighs eight pounds.
Other liquids vary depending on their density. I believe in metric
terms, one liter of water weighs one kilo. Again, with other liquids it
is density dependent.
Not sure how that converts your "dry gallons" of paper which are likely
less dense.
