Please be aware that you are in bear country! Businesses and residences within the incorporated city limits are required to store their solid waste in bear resistant trash containers or in a locked, enclosed space. If at all possible, do not store your trash outside, try to keep it inside until it is time to take it to the landfill.
Be mindful that your action or inaction may result in the untimely death of a bear and may be the cause of human/bear altercations.
Do not keep food items in your vehicles or outside of your home. Do not leave coolers outside even though they may be empty, bears have come to recognize those as a place to find food.
Be safe and have a great summer!
