"I recently purchased a BEARicuda 95 gallon bin. The
BEARicuda bin was delivered in 48 hours from the time of order placement
and put to the test. My garage had been broken into twice by a 350 pound
male black bear; I placed the Bearicuda Bin outside. This morning the
bin was gone. Fortunately, it was soon retrieved from the wooded area nearby,
unopened and intact with no visible damage. Quality, features, and service
were outstanding and I have recommended the product to friends and neighbors
who have suffered similar intrusions."

Just to let you know I can give you a testimonial that the yellow
can is bear proof. The bear visited my house last night and the can was
full of garbage. The bear rolled the can about 50 feet and gave
up trying when it could not be opened. This bear was a medium size. This
was the second time the bear tried to get it open. The first time the
can was empty and the can had a few teeth marks and mud from his paws.
Still the can could not be opened. The garbage collectors also don't
seem to have any trouble unscrewing it. I thought I would share this
information with you. Thanks again and good luck with your cause.

UPDATE:
The yellow can has still not been able to be opened by any bear
that tried. Just this morning we were awakened by a loud noise at 5am.
It was still dark and our outside sensor light came on. My wife and I
when to the back door and there was this huge bear trying to open the
yellow can. The can had garbage in it. This bear was over 500 lbs in
my estimate. He could not unscrew it or collapse it. He tried for no
more then 5 minutes and left. If this big bear could not get the can
open, I think the can is truly bear proof. Thanks again. Bernie Gobel

Note: Testimonial is through the Bear Education and Resource Group in
New Jersey who started this project to help provide their community with
an affordable and effective solution to prevent bears from entereing neighborhoods
looking for food. At the time this project started the cans were only available
in yellow. Since then the 30 gallon bearproof can has changed to brown
and many other sizes are available today.
I bought two 95 gallon Bearicuda garbage cans and they have performed
even better than I expected. We have this one bear that is a real pest
getting into our cans and making a big mess. Since I got the Bearicuda
cans we haven't had to clean up any messes. We watched him tlast weekend
as he tried to get in, but the bear couldn't and he finally got frustrated
and left. I am recommending the Bearicuda can to all my neighbors.
