MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - Firefighters were monitoring a recycling yard near Marietta after a blaze sent smoke billowing.

WSB-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1sST5Fp ) the fire apparently started Saturday near a conveyor belt at Marietta Recycling, about two miles north of Marietta Square.

Firefighters say they are not sure what started the fire. The complex had been closed for the holiday weekend.
