Using bungee cords to keep your trash cart lid shut seems like a quick and easy fix for wind or neighborhood pests, but it poses serious safety risks to you, your family, and sanitation workers and can damage collection equipment. We started Trash Lockers after we had black bears getting into our trash carts during the middle of the day. We needed to find an alternative to bungee cords because I had a severe eye injury from a bungee cord a couple of years before the bears came visiting. Two things my ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) said he and his colleagues do not allow in their homes because of the eye injuries: bungee cords and BB guns!!
Bears are emerging from hibernation hungry and searching for food. This comprehensive spring checklist helps you bear-proof your property before conflicts start, with week-by-week action steps for securing trash, removing attractants, and protecting your home during the highest-risk period for bear encounters.

About Patrick
I have always been the type of person who tinkers and finds solutions to different problems. As a kid, when my parents threw out a washer or other appliance, I was out at the curb to take it apart before the trashmen would show up. It is incredible how much there is to learn about animals (especially bears) when it comes to keeping them out of the trash.
