None, since there can be no conversion.
A ton is a measure of mass. A cubic yard is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a cubic yard of air. How many tons? Next consider a cubic yard of lead. How many tons?
The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

How many yards in a ton of coco coir or peat?
There are no yards in a ton of coco coir or peat, as they are measured in weight (tons) rather than volume (yards). The amount of coco coir or peat that makes up a ton will depend on the density of the material.
How many yards in half a ton?
All depends on the product. 1 cubic yard of screened top soil equals 1 ton. Of screened gravel, 1 yard equals 2 tons. 3 to 6 inch rock, one yard is 1.5 tons. Crushed Limestone 1 yard equals 2 tons
How do you convert 3000 pounds per cubic yard to tons per cubic yard?
This is not a valid conversion. Cubic units is a measure of volume while square units is a measure of area. Generally, volume is determined by multiplying length x width x depth. Area is normally determined by multiplying length x width.
How many cubic feet of dirt in a ton?
On average, there are about 0.83 cubic yards of dirt in a ton, which is equivalent to roughly 22 cubic feet. This can vary depending on the density of the dirt and how tightly it is packed.
How many cubic yard equal one ton?
The conversion factor for cubic yards to tons depends on the material being measured. For example, one cubic yard of gravel or sand generally weighs around 1.3 tons, while one cubic yard of concrete or asphalt weighs closer to 2.4 tons. It's important to know the specific material you are working with in order to accurately convert between cubic yards and tons.
