We kindly request that personal bagged household garbage is not placed in the cans at the pavilion, pickleball courts, or postal box areas. Bears and other wildlife are drawn to these areas and may tear open bags in search of food, leading to unwanted messes and potential safety concerns.
Please use the city's compactor at 102 Knob Drive for your household trash, or take items to the Rabun Gap Recycling Center on Kelly’s Creek Road. For Monday household trash pickup, we also ask that trash bags be placed out no earlier than 8:00 AM on Monday morning to minimize wildlife encounters.
Thank you for helping us keep our community clean and safe. We truly appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Sky Valley, GA
Nestled in the southern tip of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Rabun County is strategically located in the center of many major metropolitan areas. Knoxville, Charlotte, Augusta and Macon, are all under a 3 hour drive and Atlanta, Greenville, Asheville, and Chattanooga are all within 1 to 2 hours.
The highest point in Rabun County and the second highest in Georgia is Rabun Bald at 4,696 feet with surrounding mountains ranging in height from 2,500 to 4,500 feet. In late May and June, laurel blooms along the creek banks, in coves, on cliffs and on hilltops, and rhododendron blooms in July. In October, the mountains take on a profusion of color as the leaves begin to change for autumn.
Make sure to put Sky Valley on your list of places to see while visiting the mountains of Georgia and North Carolina. You will not be disappointed.
