GRAVETTE - Residents will soon have access to a recycling center, according to Allyson Ransom at Gravette City Hall, whohas been working with the Benton County Recycling Center to locate a unit in Gravette.

The trailer-type unit will provide bins for various types of recyclables,such as plastic and glass bottles, aluminum and steel cans, cardboard and mixed paper.

There will be no charge for the service, Ransom said.
