Bear-Resistant Containers

Bear Necessities

As with all of our containers, there is an emergency release handle on the interior of the lid so that should a child become accidentally trapped, they can effect their own escape in a timely and safe manner.

The bin 120m measures 120 litres (32 gals.) and sells for $155 plus shipping and GST.

TyeDee Bin

The TyeDee Bin line of steel, animal-resistant garbage bins are now available in BC at your local Home Hardware store. Designed to keep bears out of your garbage, TyeDee Bin is also very effective with smaller critters such as raccoons, coyotes, skunks, birds, or even your neighbour's pets.

While TyeDee Bin is well-suited for curbside pickup, it is excellent as a place to keep garbage and / or recycling, stored until garbage day. For those who live in rural areas without garbage pickup, TyeDee Bin is the place to keep your garbage. When you live in the city without a garage or shed, TyeDee Bin allows you to "Keep Your Trash Securely Stashed".
