After years of frustrations from residents, a Newport, Kentucky recycling plant is being relocated.
River Metals Recycling (RMR) reached an agreement to move, and Newport City Commissioner Ken Rechtin said it is “the most significant progress made in quite some time.”
Leading up to the move, RMR has heard plenty of complaints from neighbors and other nearby residents who complained about loud explosions happening at the plant. Rechtin explained that these loud noises can be attributed to propane tanks that made it to the scrap piles.
