Members of the media are welcome to join us at our grand opening and interview staff from CCEC FIELD Recycle and learn more about how the center will benefit the community of Tehachapi and surrounding areas in areas like the prevention of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and supporting local economies by creating jobs and tax revenue.
