Be Bear Wise
With careful management of your waste, you can reduce the chance of attracting bears to your property. Store waste and recyclables in a bear-resistant container, secure shed or garage. You are also encouraged to visit a Waste Disposal Site, especially if concerned about materials being left for collection overnight or for a number of hours.
Bear Wise Tips
- Put garbage out on the morning of garbage day, not the night before
- Do not leave pet food outdoors
- Thoroughly clean outdoor grills after use
- Fill bird feeders only through the winter months
- Do not put meat, fish or sweet food in your composter
- Keep meat scraps in the freezer until garbage collection day
- Pick up all ripe fruit off trees and remove vegetables and fallen fruit from the ground
- Use electric fencing to protect valuable trees, orchards, vegetable and berry patches
