Lake County seeks new bear-resistant trash cart contract as 1,900 wait
Original: Lake County seeks new bear-resistant trash cart contract as about 1,900 residents wait
Lake County, Florida, is looking for a new contractor to supply bear-resistant trash carts, leaving roughly 1,900 residents still waiting for the special bins. The carts are intended to keep bears out of household garbage, a persistent problem in parts of Central Florida where the animals rummage through neighborhoods. Until a contract is awarded, residents on the waiting list remain without the wildlife-proof containers.
Why now: Bear encounters and garbage raids are a recurring concern for Central Florida communities, so delays in the cart program draw local attention.
