STEPS TO BEAR PROOF YOUR HOME

Never feed a Bear. It's against the law and you could face a penalty of up to $1,000 for each offense.
Invest in heavy-duty bear-resistant garbage containers and may be ordered through the POA Office 973-627-5300.
Wash garbage containers with bleach
Garbage cans should be out on collection day and tightly sealed.
Bird feeders should not put out between April and November.
Grills should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Food residue attracts Bears.
Pet food, scraps, and bowls should not be left outside. Remove immediately after feeding.
Close off decks with fencing to prevent Bears from hibernating under decks.
