Roughly 1,000 wind turbine blades from three wind farms in Wyoming are destined for the Casper Regional Landfill because they are made from fiberglass and have been deemed non-recyclable.
Rawlins Times reports that while the burial of the blades may not affect Carbon County immediately, it could have a larger impact on the state both environmentally and economically. Additionally, there is a significant amount of wind turbines in the county with more being created for future projects.
