Wouldn't that depend upon the particular system? How much does a car weigh?

Re: Anyone Know What A Completed BUR System Wieghs Per Sq

Might give you an idea....At least ball park, as to what WAS there and how much it weighed.

What is your concern with the weight anyway????

Back to the original question, although I would think you would have more of a volume question than a weight one.

Re: Anyone Know What A Completed BUR System Wieghs Per Sq

Roll-offs are by volume nearly EVERYWHERE!!!

Cut the roof in to squares 3'x3' or less (manageability) and you can fill dumpsters PROPERLY that way.

Just order a 20 yarder and that will cover the first day, or two if you are slow.

Your disposal co WILL bring another the next day.

Got a gas powered walk-behind cutter? A gar powered peeler? Power scraper? Recycling of the stone is IMPERATIVE. If not....You is screwedededed.

You are going to go through a BUNCHA 20 yarders.

Can not tell you how many.

Re: Anyone Know What A Completed BUR System Wieghs Per Sq

I'd say it will probably weigh the normal amount. It certainly won't weigh any more than necessary.
