Youth Employment
Tri-CED provides employment to young people who work in the Buy Back Recycling Center. Since 1980, Tri-CED has employed nearly 1000 youth. Ages range 15 to 20 years old and typically our youth employees come from James Logan High School, Conley/Caraballo High School, Hayward High School, Tennyson High School, Chabot College and Cal State East Bay.
Tri-CED also works with the juvenile justice system, local police, the Parent Project, Crisis Intervention Program, community based organizations, churches and families to identify prospective youth employees. More...
Education Center
Tri-CED Community Recycling and Chabot College have entered into a joint venture to design, build and operate an Environmental Education Center to be located at the Tri-CED Community Recycling facility, 33377 Western Ave. Union City, CA. We are conducting a series of surveys, as part of an overall feasibility study and business planning process, to identify the key features and functional components of the Education Center in order to meet the direct, practical needs of the schools, teachers, students, job training requirements, institutional requirements and community needs for Southern Alameda County. It is our intention to operate this facility so as to best meet all of these needs in a cost effective, economically viable and sustainable manner. Funding for the Education Center will be raised through foundation grants. It is estimated that the planning, permitting, street improvements and education center capitalization will cost $4 million.
