For more than 32 years, the WM Kettleman Hills Facility (KHF) has been an integral part of the Kings County economy and has supported valuable community projects in both Kettleman City and neighboring communities. The KHF team is committed to the safe disposal of California’s hazardous wastes, and has a long-standing history of providing substantial funding and in-kind support for public health, environmental, educational and social service projects in Kettleman City.
While operating at normal capacity, the KHF provides:
- $17.5 million each year to the local economy through payroll and purchases of goods and services from local businesses.
- Approximately $3 million per year directly to the Kings County General Fund.
- More than $150,000 per year in cash and in-kind support to the Kettleman City community.
