Food Storage and Trash Disposal Recommendations |

- Report bear sightings
and problems to the nearest Ranger Station.
- Obtain a bear-proof
garbage bin for your neighborhood or apartment complex.
- Don’t
feed pets outdoors.
- Here are some
tips from the California
Department of Fish and Game website to keep your residence “bear
proof”:
o Deodorize garbage cans with bleach or ammonia
o Double-bag garbage to help eliminate odors
o Separate “wet garbage” and keep it in an air and odor
tight container. Use a sink garbage disposal whenever possible. Freeze
meat bones or other smelly items until pick-up day
o Be sure to keep barbecue grills clean
o Close windows at night on accessible ground floors and decks
o Don’t leave food in or near a window sill or on a counter
near an open window
o Securely block access to crawl spaces under decks or buildings
o Install bear-proof garbage and compost container
