Note: 1 of the 20 Ounce PET Bottles weighs approximately 23.83 grams and 1 of the 16 ounce PET bottles weighs 19 grams. Since 453.59 grams equals 1 pound there is roughly 19 of the 20 Ounce PET bottles to the pound. For the 16 ounce figure roughly 20% more (since the difference between 16 ounce and 20 ounce is roughly 20%)  so there are roughly 23 of the 16 ounce PET bottles to the pound. Thus, an 800 pound bale of PET would be roughly 15,200 (800 x 19) of the 20 ounce PET bottles and roughly 18,400 (800 x 23) of the 16 ounce PET Bottles. There are roughly 750 of the 20 ounce PET bottles per cubic yard and 900 of the 16 ounce PET bottles per Cubic Yard and thus the weight per cubic yard of loose PET bottles is roughly 30 - 40 pounds..
