We have a neighbor at the end of the block who will not lock up their garbage can between pick up days...they leave it in in the street all year long. This time of year, all they do is attract bears...in fact we’ve had two bears come through and rifle through their garbage since Monday. The garbage has been strewn about for days since nobody in that household bothers to pick it up. The saying goes up here that a fed bear is a dead bear and its true. Bears that are trained to find food near humans inevitably gets in trouble and is destroyed. Those of us with no garages lease bear proof garbage cans from the disposal companies to keep garbage away from bears and they work really well. I think I will pick up the neighbor’s garbage, package it up nicely and mail it to them! I will sign the card courtesy of the Rattlesnake Bears Association and a return address of the messy homeowner themselves.
