There were neighbors down the street who repeatedly put their trash out the night before trash day. I visitied with the people across the street with them, and we watched a bear pop the lid off the cans and pick out what it wanted.
Haven't seen one on the block in a few years.

I just don't understand why they dont have a weed can? our old house had 3 cans one esp for green or weeds etc. I have more weeds than cans and stuff!

So how many people have had bears in their trash?

On upper Oriole it was a serious problem for a couple years. Not sure about 03-present, but in 2001-2002 we had issues constantly in the 800 block.

I got my new bear proof containers.
Just watch out with the lids, because they're a lot heavier than the old ones. I just took out my recycling, opened the lid, and it landed against my garage window and broke it.

I'll never do that again.

I was wondering this morning when I took out the trash.....why are the recycle trash cans bear proof? Are the afraid the bears will steal the aluminum cans and cash them in?

I have heard that the "cub" scouts collect cans... It beats panda-ering.
Watching bears collect cans is quite a Kodiak moment! But only if your polar-oid camera is ready.

Getting too close can be a grizzly experience!!

OK, I am beary sure you cannot bear much more bad puns...

That was good!

Ladies take caution!!!!

I broke a fingernail in that stupid hole to open the lid! lol's

Hey MtnDude...you cracked me up with your question "why are the recycle trash cans bear proof?" my thought was because the bears could get in and suffocate themselves with the plastic....heee hee!

The good news is, Hoss has the window replaced within 2 hours.
Yeah, Hoss!

Ok, so I'm too lazy to read the previous pages, but someone told me that when we got the new cans, C R &R are not going to be picking up anything that won't fit in the trash cans anymore. Is this true? Because I just bagged up 12 bags of pine needles today and I need to know if they aren't going to pick it up.

MazzyStar · « **Reply #90 on:** Oct 12, 06, 08:48:56 PM »

If they don't pick them up, come over and dump them in our dumpster Cinchy. I can't imagine they wouldn't pick them up tho.

Hillbillies · « **Reply #91 on:** Oct 12, 06, 09:17:26 PM »

Does anyone know if the rumor is true that CR&R has been awarded the contract to remove all white trash from the Stater Brothers parking lot. I hope this is true, because it sure will make my shopping experience a heck of a lot more pleasant....

angiepoo · « **Reply #92 on:** Oct 12, 06, 09:33:35 PM »

Thanks Mazzy. Guess I'll find out on Monday.

rdnckgrl78 · « **Reply #93 on:** Oct 12, 06, 10:48:35 PM »

They will still pick them up. We just put out 8 bags yesterday and they had no problem taking them.

I think that is considered toxic waste and a special permit is required.

BTW, there are some nice people down there as well.

I'm going to disable the latch on the recycling can. I'm not bothered by bears as much as by the neighborhood wandering dogs. They'll starve.

No kidding?

When the road was torn up and a trip to the dump wasn't worth the effort, I had something like 14 bags of pine needles lined up. I only put out two bags a week, keeping my fingers crossed they would take those.

Hillbilly....When going to Stater Bros. and a group of punks are hanging around outside....I put on my demented eyeball face.....you know....like you've been staring at the sun for too long and your nuts. Practice repeatedly in the mirror until you get it right. Works for me

They were actually our neighbors bags, we split them up so he did not have 16 bags next his trash cans. They took the 8 from us and the 8 from my neighbor without a problem.
