The Conservation Corps of Long Beach (CCLB) has opened its newest facility that will house 85-90 percent of its recycling operations.

The facility is at 3251 East 19th Street, Signal Hill, 90755 (map).

Recyclables, including E-Waste, will be sorted and bailed at the facility and sent off to market. The Environmental Education Center will also serve as a learning center for the Corpsmembers and to the public, as tours of the building and recycling demonstrations will be offered to local schools and residents.

"The large increase of space will allow the CCLB to serve more Long Beach residents and businesses and will help decrease the amount of waste that ends up in landfills while serving more at-risk youth in the CCLB's education and life skills program," said executive director  Mike Bassett in a prepared statement.

For more details, contact Bassett at 562.986-1249 or visit www.cclb-corps.org.
