Lake County seeks new bear-resistant trash cart contract amid backlog
Original: Lake County seeks new bear-resistant trash cart contract as about 1,900 residents wait
Lake County, Florida, is looking for a new vendor to supply bear-resistant trash carts, leaving roughly 1,900 residents still waiting for the equipment. The carts are intended to keep bears out of household garbage in areas where encounters between wildlife and neighborhoods have been a recurring problem. The current contract effort has stalled, and county officials are working to restart the program so residents in bear-prone communities can get the carts.
Why now: Residents waiting nearly two years for bear-proof carts want to know why the program has stalled and when deliveries will resume
