Rabun County Recycle Center sits on Longview Rd in Tiger, Georgia, and is the spot locals use to drop off household recyclables. It’s a modest county recycling center handling the usual stuff - cardboard, paper, plastics, glass and aluminum cans - mostly residential loads. County recycling centers sometimes run special collection events for items that don't fit in the regular bins, such as electronics or tires.
Expect a small, open yard rather than a big industrial plant; pull in from Longview Rd and look for the drop-off area near the road. Containers for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metal are set up in the lot, so sorting before arrival will save time. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so be prepared to wait on nice days. Dress for the weather and have a buddy for heavy or awkward items.

Before You Go
- Break down and flatten boxes so they take up less room and fit better in the bins.
- Rinse food containers when possible-dirty items tend to get thrown away rather than recycled.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; midweek or late-afternoon runs are usually quicker.
