Wildlife attractant management tips:
-
Garbage is the most reported attractant involved in human-bear conflict.
-
Bears that access garbage may be injured, cause property damage or become a risk to the community.
-
Keep garbage, recyclables, organics and other attractants secure – indoors is best.
-
Keep garbage, organics and recycling totes clean and odour free.
-
Keep garbage and organics totes locked at all time until the morning of collection. Totes may only be placed at the curb between 6 am - 7 pm on scheduled collection days as per the Wildlife Attractants Bylaw.
-
Freeze smelly items until the morning of collection.
-
Collecting your organics separately is the best way to reduce waste going to landfill!
