Does this look like 10 tons of MOT?

What size tipper did they deliver it with?
It's smaller than the 8 tons I got last summer.
But it's wet. You've bought the rain that landed on it before it was loaded, unfortunately just a fact of life.

cone volume calculator here https://www.omnicalculator.com/math/cone-volume As @^woody^ says density uncompacted MOT is about 2T/m3
There will be some deviation for wetness, but do the calculation and I suggest if you get less than 9T you send your calcs to the supplier and ask them when the rest is coming.
Use the calc for a truncated cone and add a smidgen, or for a pointy cone and knock a bit off.

Ask the delivery company for a copy of the Weighbridge ticket.
It's very hard to tell from the photo, as it's an unknown distance from the camera.
The wheelie bin isn't much further away and looks pretty small.
You'll need to measure and guesstimate using the link above.

I reckon it's taller than the wheelie bin. It's bigger than it looks in the photo.
