A 5 gallon bucket will normally hold at least 30 lbs of scrap copper.

But it can differ depending on how much the copper will compress into the bucket.

I have two 5 gallon buckets full of scrap copper right now and one has 30 lbs in it and the other only 20 lbs since the other scrap copper won't compress as good into the bucket.
