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.
