Solid Waste Department Superintendent Steve Johnson says garbage crews found
numerous trash cans tipped over and completely emptied in several alleys
Wednesday. Johnson tells the Bozeman Daily Chronicle the bears know when the
garbage containers are full.
The furry trash can tippers have been at it for
about a month as they prepare for hibernation. Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear
specialist Kevin Frey urges residents to wait until the morning of trash pickup
day to set out their garbage cans and to pick up fruit that's fallen from
trees, clean up gardens and take down bird feeders.
Frey says if temperatures
continue to cool, the bears will be ready to hibernate by Halloween.
