Wind-fleet context
Texas had 19,415 turbine records in the U.S. Wind Turbine Database as of Q1 2025, the largest count of any state (USWTDB v8.1 memo). That figure describes the installed fleet at that date. It is not a count of turbines scheduled for retirement or blades awaiting recycling, and turbine age alone does not establish when a project will repower or decommission.
Whole blades versus pre-cut inventory
Texas inventories include blades still on turbines, blades lowered whole during repowering and blades already cut into sections and stored. Each needs a different starting point:
| --- | --- |
|---|---|
| Blades on turbines | Lowering schedule, set-down location, responsibility for ground handling |
| Whole blades on the ground | Length, root diameter, storage layout, access |
| Pre-cut sections | Measured dimensions per section, roots identified separately |
| Mixed yard inventory | Inventory register with IDs, condition and unknowns |
Questions for remote-site mobilization
- Which county and nearest public road access?
- What are the site's lease road conditions, gates and turning radii?
- Is there a stable pad for cutting and loading equipment?
- Are there seasonal ground or weather constraints?
- What site rules apply (escorts, hours, safety orientation)?
- How many mobilizations does the inventory justify?
Long distances between sites make mobilization a significant cost line. Grouping inventories by area, where owners agree, can change the economics — but only with confirmed quantities and schedules.
Matching material preparation to a confirmed destination
Preparation should follow a named receiving destination and its written specification. A cutting length chosen for convenience at the site may not suit the trailer configuration or the receiver. In a large state, the distance to a qualified receiver can outweigh the cost differences between pathways.
Records for owner and contractor closeout
Agree the documentation package before work begins: inventory register, field preparation log, load records, weight tickets, receiver acknowledgements, any processing confirmation and a reconciliation. See Recycling Documentation.
Regions we are researching
West Texas around Sweetwater and Abilene, and the Texas Panhandle around Amarillo, are geographic research areas because of their concentration of wind projects. They are not company branches, and we do not publish project examples from these areas until there is real, verified project evidence.
Information to submit for review
- County and site access description
- Blade count, whole or pre-cut, model if known
- Section measurements and photographs
- Root and metal details
- Loading responsibility and target dates
- Desired scope and documentation

Texas questions
Do you serve all of Texas?
Yes. Coverage is confirmed across Texas for wind turbine blades needing decommissioning. Submit the county and inventory details so the requested work and schedule can be reviewed.
Can you work at remote West Texas or Panhandle sites?
Remote sites are common in Texas. The review will focus on access, mobilization and distance to a confirmed receiver before any commitment is made.
