Put your trust in the Bearicuda brand with over 15 years of experience in manufacturing bear-proof metal enclosures.
Knowing and having confidence in what you are purchasing all starts with giving us a call and speaking with a knowledgeable bear can and enclosure specialist. Walking through our well-put-together website that instills confidence in selecting the best bear metal trash can holder. We also make sure our bear enclosures are raccoon and squirrel-proof. We have tested the majority of our bear-resistant enclosures through the LWWF (Living With Wildlife Foundation) and the IGBC that offer a captive grizzly bear test designed to test food in our dumpsters, enclosures and food storage bear lockers. This is done at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in Yellowstone, Montana. Once the bear-proof testing is complete a certificate of approval is issued to the testing manufacturer. We are proud to say that we tested and passed and now carry this certificate issued by the LWWF \ IGBC \ FWP \ agencies. The USFS acknowledges this certificate. Before you buy insist that the manufacturer supply you with their proof of completion certificate supplied by the LWWF ( Living With Wildlife Foundation / IGBC ). Our Bear's lives depend on It.

Bear-Resistant Enclosure Buying Checklist

Before purchasing an enclosure, determine:

1. What are you storing?

Trash, recycling, food waste or multiple waste streams?

2. How many containers need protection?

One, two or three carts may require different enclosure configurations.

3. What size are your existing carts?

Measure them rather than relying only on gallon capacity.

4. How much bear activity occurs in the area?

Properties with repeated bear visits should prioritize heavy-duty construction and secure installation.

5. Is IGBC certification required?

Check local regulations, HOA requirements and government specifications.

6. Does the enclosure need to meet accessibility requirements?

Public locations may require an ADA-oriented solution such as the Telluride.

7. Where will it be installed?

Consider concrete-pad requirements, snow, drainage, vehicle access and trash-collection procedures.

8. How will the waste hauler access it?

Make sure the enclosure configuration works with your normal collection process.
