A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place tomorrow morning for the brand new handicap-accessible recycling dock in Hardin County.

This is the only one in the whole state that has this type of dock that does not have an actual recycle center,” stated Solid Waste Coordinator Stephanie Givens. The ceremony is set to take place at 10 a.m. tomorrow at 200 Peterson Drive in Elizabethtown.
