cubic yards to tons
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I know it will not be exact but can someone tell me how many cubic yards is in a ton of mulch.

From a selection of web sources, the bulk density of mulch ranges from about 850 lbs/yd³ for a composite type to about 450 lbs/yd³ for bark mulch.
2,000 lb / 850 lb/yd³ = 2.35 yd³
2,000 lb / 450 lb/yd³ = 4.4 yd³
So I'd guess anywhere between 2.4 to 4.4 yd³.
