The City of Kingsport has recently inaugurated a new recycling convenience center designed to provide residents with a more efficient and safer way to handle their recyclables. The new facility, stationed at 300 Industry Drive, is an upgrade from the previous center located closer to Netherland Inn Road, as reported by Kingsport’s official website.
