Where may garbage be stored?
At all times, year round, except after 4 a.m. on pickup day:
-
In a strong, fully enclosed structure such as a garage.
-
In a "bear resistant enclosure" - that is, in an enclosure that you can't get into unless you use your hands or tools. If it can be opened by stomping on it, kicking it, running into it with your body, or other similar actions, it isn't bear resistant.
