The conversion is different depending on what substance you are using. You need to know the density of the material you are using.
For instance, and this is from Reade.com;
Earth, moist, excavated - 90 pounds/cubic foot
Earth, wet, excavated - 100 pounds/cubic foot
Multiply the volume in cubic feet by the above number, and you will get pounds.

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 yards in a ton of coco coir or peat?
Technically, there are no cubic feet in a "yard". But the word "yard" is often used to mean "cubic yard", as in concrete, peat moss, gravel, topsoil, etc. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
How do you convert dollars per square feet into dollars per cubic yard?
Trying to convert dollars per square foot into dollars per cubic yard is like trying to convert apples into oranges. A square foot is a measurement of area, whereas a cubic yard is a measurement of volume.
How do you convert 1 cubic yard to 1 ton?
mass = volume x density So multiply the 1 cubic yard of the substance by the density (expressed in tons per cubic yard) of the substance.
Which is more a ton or a cubic yard?
depends on the material you are measuring, a cubic yard of feathers may not weigh a ton, but a cubic yard of lead would.

How much cubic yard equals one ton?
This question cannot be answered sensibly. A cubic yard is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A ton is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. As a simple mental exercise consider a cubic yard of air and a cubic yard of water. They will have very different masses.
