BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Nearly 200 rePlanet recycling centers are expected to close down across the state, laying off 278 employees.

Finally, the rise in minimum wage has played a role in the closure because businesses have to figure out how to incorporate the rise into their business model and some companies, like rePlanet can't afford it.
