STASH YOUR TRASH TO PREVENT UNWANTED BEAR ENCOUNTERS
Easily accessible garbage, bird seed and pet food are three of the most common types of human-provided foods for black bears. Do your part to keep bears wild by observing the following rules:
*Bring pet food indoors.
*Remove birdfeeders during spring & summer.
*Convert to bear-proof garbage containers, or secure garbage inside a garage or other enclosed area.
*Place garbage cans at curb on the day of pick-up, rather than the night before. No curbside service? Get it to the nearest disposal site ASAP.
*If necessary, install electric fences around garbage storage areas.
*Remove food scraps from grills and fire pits daily.
*Rinse food cans and wrappers before disposal.
*Keep garbage cans clean and deodorized.
