Depends on the actual capacity of the body, manufacturer of the body, condition of the hydraulic pump, compressibility of the load (bulky items such as couches and wood do not compress). Average body sizes range from about15 to 32 cubic yards. The truck I drive is a 2005 Mack LE600 with a McNeilus 32 cubic yard packing body and I average weights ranging from 14.5 tons (multiple bulky items) to 18 tons (little or no bulky items). The most weight I have put on this truck in one shot is 21.74 tons.

It depends on the size and shape of the garbage can. But a garbage bin can most probably hold more than a gallon unless the garbage can is a gallon.
200 - 240 gallons.
Each dump truck has a different capacity. It is best to call the place that will be delivering it what their trucks capacities average.
