Canadian Bear Proof Garbage Bins are definitely a niche product I haven’t come across before.
But I guess there’s not many carnivourous mammals in Australia that may want to chomp your head off. We only have lots of poisonous snakes and spiders instead.
Hence I haven’t come across a rubbish bin that’s reinforced so much that it resembles the Oscar The Grouch version of Fort Knox!
My oldies spotted some Canadian Bear Proof Garbage Bins on a recent trip to Canada.
These reinforced garbage receptacle devices look a bit unusual to those not from North America.
It seems nothing could destroy one of these big metal beasts. Look how solid they are! I wish the Bear Proof Garbage bin engineers had built some of the various forms of transport I’ve used around the world! These bins look more roadworthy!
The reason these bins are reinforced are to stop Canadian Bears from pillaging the rubbish for residual snacks not devoured by often overweight tourists when they feel like a midnight snack. These food groups would likely be a most unsuitable diet for the Bears, just like it is for humans ;-P.
I guess if you had an easy source of food on tap, why bother hunting for salmon all day?
It makes me wonder though – will the Canadian Bears revert to eating overweight tourists because they can’t score a midnight munchie from a Bear Proof Rubbish Bin?
Anyway, check out more at Wild Animals of the Canadian Rockies.
