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.

The volume of mulch in 1 ton can vary depending on the type and moisture content of the mulch. However, a general estimate is that 1 ton of mulch typically equals about 12 to 15 cubic feet. For example, shredded bark mulch is often around 14 cubic feet per ton. It's important to check specific product details for more accurate measurements.
Something on the order of .6 yards per US ton

When it comes to mulch or concrete, a so-called "yard"actually means a "cubic yard".1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet2 cubic yards = 54 cubic feet...6 cubic yards = 162 cubic feet ( = 81 bags )
1500 sq ft * 4 inches = 1500/9 sq yards * 1/9 yards = 18.518518... cubic yards.
Aproximately 17.78 Sq Yds of asphalt @ 1" thick per ton. Aproximately 17.78 Sq Yds of asphalt @ 1" thick per ton.
A 32-gallon garbage can is equivalent to approximately 0.33 cubic yards of mulch.
1 cubic yard is 3x3x3 = 27 cubic feet 49 yards = 49x27 = 1323 cubic feet 1323/2 = 661 bags - that is a lot of bags! Make sure by yards you mean actual cubic yards, not linear yards, in which case you need to know depth and width of mulch as well
1 cubic yard will cover 15 square yards at 3 inches deep.
There are two 'types' of ton. An Imperial ton and a US ton An Imperial ton has 2,240 pounds A US ton has 2,000 pounds So, depending on where you are, 17 pounds is either 0.0075892857 Imperial tons, or 0.0085 US tons
