Welcome to the City of Gatlinburg
 Home:   Animal Proof Enclosures

Animal Proof Enclosures.  As of June 1, 2000 the entire area within the city limits of Gatlinburg on the west side of the Foothills Parkway, the area north of the National Park Service boundary on either side of the western prong of the Little Pigeon River between Parkway and the Foothills Parkway boundary bounded on the north by LeConte Street and the Skyland Park and Winfield Heights subdivision, the entire limits from Low Gap Road on the east and to the south of Highway 321 and Parkway will be required to provide animal proof enclosures for their refuse.   All restaurants within Gatlinburg City Limits will be required to have animal proof garbage receptacles also.  You can pick up a map of the areas that are required to have animal proof receptacles at City Hall. 

These receptacles shall be of a design that is approved by a City Building Official.  This requirement will not apply to receptacles that are located inside a structure such as a house, building or other enclosed structure that does not allow entry by scavenging animals.  If you live in an area that is required to have animal proof receptacles, please check with the Cherokee Economic Authority to see if you can apply for financial assistance.
