It’s not a bear problem,
it’s a people problem.
And we have the solution.
Thanks to BEAR Group volunteers, a bear-resistant trash can is now available. The 30 gallon Critter Can™ has a screw top lid, which the bears are unable to open. When bears realize they can’t open the can, they move on, because they no longer see your garbage as a food source.
It is critical that bear-country residents properly bear-proof their homes. When we do so, unwanted human-bear encounters drop. In addition, when bears consume only natural food, their reproductive rate decreases.
Thousands of Critter Cans™ have been assembled and distributed by the BEAR Group, thanks to the dedication and contributions of our members and local businesses, who generously volunteered their efforts.
To order a Critter Can™, please contact Roger Gengaro at 973-315-3219 or email him at crittercans@savenjbears.com
The BEAR Group would be happy to assist your community or organization in implementing a successful garbage control program—to prevent bear encounters—and to protect bears from becoming human-habituated and garbage-conditioned.
