Description

Many houses throughout the neighborhood (Castlewood, Winterwood, etc) are keeping garbage barrels outside their homes at all times, which is attracting bears at all hours of the day when children are playing outside A bear came 20 feet from my child this afternoon in order to get to a neighbors garbage barrel which was out in their driveway Town ordinance seems to state that should not be the case ("Refuse and/or recycling containers maintained as provided in this section shall be located on the property or premises of the person producing such refuse/recycling in such areas so as not to be visible from the street, sidewalk or public place except after
6:00 p.m. of the day before the next scheduled pickup.
Serviced containers shall be removed from the street before 8:00 p.m. on the day of the pickup.") Please advise, thank you
