TyeDee Bin is Official Animal Resistant Bin for South Bruce Peninsula |
|
|
|
|
July 2008  TyeDee Bin is now the official Animal Resistant Garbage Container for the Township of South Bruce Peninsula. As a part of their long term waste management strategy, South Bruce needed to divert the amount of waste that was going to their only landfill site. The only way to do this was to provide curbside waste collection for all South Bruce residents and cottage owners. The only problem was, "What to do about the bears and other nuisance wildlife?" When Wray Lamont, Chair of the South Bruce Waste Management Committee saw TyeDee Bin, he knew that he had found the answer they were looking for. He now knew that curbside pick-up was now possible because the bears will not getting into the garbage that is stored in a TyeDee Bin. In addition to solving the nuisance wildlife issues associated with curbside pick-up, TyeDee Bin has also saved money for the township, which they have been able to pass on to the taxpayer in the form of a subsidy to whichever resident chooses to purchase TyeDee Bin.

TyeDee Bin Tested by Grizzlies |
|
|
|
|
September 2008  TyeDee Bin took two of their bins to the Northwood Zoo in  Seagrave, ON to be tested by 4 large grizzly bears. CTV's Consumer Alert reporter, Pat Foran, covered the story.
On a hot, summer day, we placed dead chickens (a grizzly's favorite) in each of the bins, and then let the bears give the bins a real test. For 1/2 hour the bears knocked the bins around, rolled them over, bit them, and jumped on them, yet could not get into TyeDee Bin. After the test was over, we fed the bears the chickens, and then inspected the bins. There was no structural damage to the bins at all, only some minor scratches. TyeDee Bin will keep even grizzly bears out of your trash, they will do even better against black bears, raccoons, and other nuisance animals. |
