As a Duartemesa resident Iam looking forward to our City Council adding another area in Duarte requiring trash out at curb only the day of pickup. Our bear is very intelligent and sets his cell phone to remind it’s buffet time. WE NEED DOUBLE LOCK TRASH CONTAINERS made of kryptinite!!

Hi Susan,
Thanks for your article, we need more public awareness regarding the bears.

I live in Arcadia. Recently, the Arcadia Police shot and killed two black bears that were going through trash cans and eating fruit off trees. I want to prevent this from happening again. I’m going to start a petition for Arcadia to provide bear proof trash cans for residents living in the foothill areas. I was wondering if Monrovia has required bear proof trash cans for it’s residents? If so, have they made an impact in your opinion? Thanks, Karen

Thanks Susan – for publishing this article! I understand that Duarte Mesa area is having alot of proplems with the bears . Your article really puts a humorous touch on something that most people find frightening. Your advice and tips are most helpful. Please – lets keep reminding residents there are things they can do to reduce the bears from frequenting their areas and reduce possible situations that may be harmful to both parties.

Thanks again,
Nina
