Big news: Recycling Center Reopening! From Bridget Compton Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator It is finally here!!!! The Adair County Recycling Center will be reopening next Tuesday, December 27, 2022, to accept recyclables. The Adair County Fiscal Court is excited to provide this service to the community as it has been greatly missed by many and I think we all have noticed a difference in our waste since it has been closed. We ask that everyone be patient as we have a new Recycling Director and Christmas is always busy with cardboard and paper. Normal business hours will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7amCT to 3pmCT. I have included a list of acceptable goods hereto and want to stress NO GARBAGE! This is not a garbage service it is to keep items out of the garbage and our environment so please review the acceptable items and lets all do what we can to keep the recycling center open for years to come.

Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency ahead of an arctic front that is expected to bring a flash freeze and severely cold temperatures, with rain changing to snow Thursday night across much of the commonwealth. Temperatures may stay below freezing through the Christmas holiday and into early next week. The front is also expected to produce wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph on Friday and wind chills could reach minus 10 to minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday. The front is expected to affect travel, and other impacts may include broken waterlines, power outages and damage to public infrastructure and private properties. Gov. Beshear said his administration has been in contact with county officials to help open warming centers for local residents in need, and Kentucky State Parks will also serve as a backup warming centers. The Governor also asked Kentuckians to make a plan to have a backup heat source in place and to make a vehicle kit.
