Are there facilities in Wyoming that treat, store or dispose hazardous waste?
There are a number of facilities in Wyoming that have or are currently managing (treating, storing, disposing) hazardous waste. Primarily these are closed and operating petroleum refineries. Many of the refineries (closed and operating) have closed hazardous waste disposal facilities (landfills), and some of the operating refineries have storage or treatment units – no facility in Wyoming is currently disposing hazardous waste. In addition, all of the Wyoming facilities managing hazardous waste are only allowed to manage wastes they generate; they cannot accept wastes from outside their facility for management. Finally, there are no commercial hazardous waste management facilities in Wyoming. For more information about these facilities, please contact the Solid and Hazardous Waste Division.
