Bear-Resistant Critter Can

Through the dedication and perseverance of numerous Bear Group volunteers, a bear-resistant garbage can has been discovered, tested and is now being marketed by several local vendors to help prevent bears from coming into our neighborhoods for garbage.

 

These cans should be kept outside (preferred) all the time. Once your neighborhood bears learn they cannot get into the can, they will move on, keeping their consumption of unnatural foods at a lower level. When bears consume only natural food, their reproductive rate goes down.
