BEAR PROOF TRASH BINS
To have "bear proof trash cans", you have to have a bear proof trash container. Manufacturers might claim that their trash cans can keep critters out, but without reinforced, industrial grade steel, that is highly unlikely.
So why do you need a bear proof trash bin? For the bears, of course! Bears that eat human food become a danger to themselves and to other humans. You also need a bear proof trash bin because it is the law in Gatlinburg, TN. Other than that - nobody likes to pick up garbage that has been strewn everywhere by a bear or some other animal.
Tom Oakley Maintenance & Repair builds the highest quality bear proof trash bins and containers in the area. Our containers are known for extended life, durability, and structural integrity. Our units have been installed all throughout Sevier County - including Pigeon Forge, Seymour, Kodak, Pittman Center and Gatlinburg. They have been approved by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) and are recommended by the City of Gatlinburg.
Our containers are mounted 5 feet into the ground and become a part of your property - potentially increasing your property value!
There are a variety of sizes and colors to choose from. Each bin is custom built to your needs. Please see below for additional information.
