 Bear-Resistant Trash Barrel Program
The City's Public Works Environmental Services staff has worked closely with Athens Services to develop a convenient and beneficial program for those wishing to reduce trashcan break-ins from bears. Residents who enroll in the program will be provided one (1) black 90-gallon bear-resistant barrel in lieu of the traditional trash barrel. The steel-reinforced, bear-resistant barrels come equipped with locking lids. The carts were designed to accommodate automated collection systems, so no special pick-up accommodations will be required. Prior to barrel delivery, enrollees will be required to sign a 36-month program participation agreement form with Athens Services for 36 monthly payments of $4.99 per month, per barrel. The above rate will be in addition to the monthly service rate. Barrels will remain the property of Athens Services at all times. In order for the barrels to receive automated service, the lid must be unlocked by the customer prior to service. Setting unlocked barrels out the morning of collection rather than the night prior will help to reduce the number of trashcan break-ins from bears. To have Athens Services driver unlock the barrel, rather than the homeowner, an additional $5.25 monthly fee for unlock service is available upon request. For more information, please contact Athens Services at (888) 336-6100. If you would like to enroll in the Bear-resistant trash barrel program, please complete the Bear-Resistant Barrel Agreement form and return it to: City of Monrovia, Public Works or For questions or further program details, contact Environmental Services at (626) 932-5553 or 5556. |
