Garbage

Bears and Garbage

Bears do live in and around Quesnel. When garbage is left unsecured, bears can become conditioned to relying on garbage as a food source, which leads to conflict between bears and humans. To reduce bear conflict:

• Do not store garbage outdoors. Garbage can be kept inside a garage or shed if it’s bear proof. Odorous garbage can be kept inside a plastic bag and frozen until garbage day.    
• Remove all fruit from the trees in your yard. Fruit can be stored indoors while it ripens. Let friends or neighbours pick your fruit if you are not going to use it. Determine if the fruit trees are necessary or if they are still wanted, if they aren’t, replace trees with non-fruit bearing species.
• Birdseed or suet filled bird feeders will attract bears through the odours they emit. Birdseed and suet are high protein food source for bears. Use bird feeders only in the winter when bears are hibernating, and natural bird food is limited.

Did you know? There is a bylaw that garbage can only be placed out for collection on pick up day between 4 and 8 am.
