Update on bear-proof trash cans from Mayor Tim Drag:

2026 Bear-Resistant Trash Can Update

Following discussions with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), I’m pleased to share that we’ve secured a second and significantly larger allocation of bear-resistant trash cans.

Last year, we received 166 cans at no cost through a DEP grant. This year, we have been awarded an additional 370 cans. This expansion will allow us to fulfill all remaining requests from the waitlist, with a surplus that will be distributed through a lottery system.

All cans provided in this round will be 64-gallon models. Residents who requested a 96-gallon can will instead be offered the 64-gallon size.

As with last year, these cans are completely free for residents. The only requirement is that recipients complete a follow-up survey sent by the DEP after receiving their can.
