Here's one of the things I read: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759376113/unfurling-the-waste-problem-caused-by-wind-energy https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/7593

Here's one of the things I read: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759376113/unfurling-the-waste-problem-caused-by-wind-energy https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759376113/unfurling-the-waste... Another comment on this thread says it's all fine and I'm wrong, which is good news.

Apparently it's just extra fast replacement cycles due to the fact that the original designs weren't thought of this way.

In your original comment, you’d said “toxic”. toomuchtodo was right to note exactly what your source explains: they’re mostly recyclable (though many places aren’t ready for the blades because they’re so big!) and if not they can be scrapped and left in a landfill. Toxic means something specific, and isn’t just “can’t be recycled”.
