Beginning next week, Rabun County residents can dispose of debris from Tropical Storm Helene at a designated area at the Rabun County Arena in Tiger. The site will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting Monday, October 7, through Friday, October 11.
The arena is located at 100 East Boggs Mountain Road. The drop-off area is accessible from the Longview Road entrance to the arena. The county will accept only green-leafed vegetation and wood.
Root balls and stumps, construction, building, or roofing materials will not be accepted.
Residents must provide their name, address, and telephone number to on-site staff before unloading.
Those with residential damage should contact their insurance companies.
In addition, property owners may submit damage reports to the county. These reports will be compiled and given to GEMA and FEMA for documentation. Property owners may receive individual assistance if the county meets the eligibility threshold for damage.
To file a report with the county, email your name, address, and telephone number and attach photos to [email protected].
