I have not a firm answer. Compost weight is variable and as such the answer may be misleading.

Consider this, a cubic foot of water weighs 64 pounds. A tonne is 1,000 kg.

The number of cubic feet in a cubic yare is 27. so a cubic yard of water weighs 1,728 lb. A tonne is then 3,806.167 lb. of water. Now compost is lighter than water. there are 454gm in a pound so find the weight of compost in a cubic foot and do the math
