You need to get bear resistant cans or keep trash inside until the truck shows up. Up here it is a crime if bears get in your trash from improper handeling. The saying is “a fed bear is a dead bear” because when they get this used to people they get shot.

That is a bear resistant can. Thus he knocked over the can and didn’t get the food

And the location is inside my yard, not on street

So unless I sleep with the trash cans inside my bedroom, I don’t see what else I can do

I have done the ammonia spray, etc. nothing works

Last year 3 bears were in my jacuzzi swimming

The one standing up dosnt look like a bear resistant. Sorry I’m tainted on the subject right now. I have people all around me not properly storing trash so 2-3 times a week I end up with a broken apart trash bag spread out across the bottom of my back yard since I back up to green space. You could build an enclosure outside, People without garages up here do that.

We are only allowed black cans to be bear resistant

Green (lawn clippings), and blue (recycle) can’t be bear resistant. In last 9 years in this house, no body ever touched the green and blue one

Enclosure might be the way to go

My garage is too precious to put garbage cans in it

 

[coleAK]

Yeah I can’t imagine putting trash cans in the garage but a lot of people up here do it. I just have 2 of these, once or twice a summer one gets knocked over. Bears are smart though and find easy pickings.
