Somethings not right with the frames I pasted.
If that is how they charge to dump (and not by true weight) someone is making a killing.

I think the cement is just dry cement, wheeras mortar contains aggregate. Is aggragate denser and heavier than cement?"Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

In a bag; 60 or 80lbs is roughly 2/3 cuft.
So for one they are fairly close possibly.
But 145lbs for a cu ft of any kind of cement/ mortar/concrete?
I'm not buying it.[email protected]
The weight per cubic foot of cured concrete of normal weight with normal weight aggregate is generally given as 140 to 150 lb/cu ft. Light weight concrete, of course, would be less - with special purpose lightweight concrete being listed as low as 35 lb/cu ft.
Wet vs. Dry? Bulk cement would be a dry weight. Mortar would be wet weight. Don't know just tossing it out there. Just dug out my Kidder-Nolan and looked up the weights of both . Cement ( Dry Portland ) is listed @ 84.2 lbs/cu.ft. Mortar is listed twice: Lime Mortar @ 103.0 lbs/cu.ft Cement Mortar @ 105.0 lbs/cu.ft.

The original post had it all listed as material to be discarded. a menu of sorts for dumping fees.
I guess I was off, but I don't see a cubic foot of demo'd concreste weighing in at 145#[email protected]
Ahh, Guess I should have read the OP.
They can't get your Goat if you don't tell them where it is hidden.
I know i've had just over 3000lbs on my one ton chevy van.
You know you're loaded when the steering gets light. When we do bathroom renos we always load the debris into the truck.
Some of that old tile on cement gets pretty heavy.
