Bear-Resistant Organics Bins
SOLD OUT!! Thank you for your interest in bear-resistant bins. We have sold out of the bins, but they can still be purchased for $225 through AJM Disposal by calling (604) 590-1857 or emailing info@ajmdisposal.com.
These bins are a major criteria to achieving Bear Smart Community status due to their success in bear-interface areas in other communities. The goal of this program is to “address the root causes of bear/human conflicts, thereby reducing the risks to human safety and private property, as well as the number of bears that have to be destroyed each year.
“Every year hundreds, and in some years well over a thousand, bears are destroyed as a result of conflicts between people and bears…most of these problems begin when people allow bears to access non-natural food sources such as garbage.”
Because they can’t get into the secured, certified bear-resistant bins when properly used, bears are discouraged from seeking food sources in residential areas.
