In addition home builds and improvements, it is imperative that each lot have a trash can containment unit to keep the trash in and the predators out. The containment unit should be made of sturdy materials to keep large scavengers like bears out and look consistent with community standards. Below are some examples of good and potentially problematic enclosures. If your house will have many guests, you will need a double can enclosure. In no case should trash bags be left out by residents or rental guests, as the scavengers will quickly tear them open and spread garbage down the street.

Below, are some examples of Trash Can enclosures, built, bought or modified in April. Some are good examples of what to do. Some are good examples of potential problems. In general, enclosures with 4 sides, a top and a latch to keep out bears and racoons are what you want. If there is no "top" then there should at least be bungees to hold the top down or trash cans that are locking. Enclosures with 3 sides, no top and just a chain across the front, are ripe for pillaging and toppling by scavengers.
