Bear-Resistant Green Organics Bin Application

This is a pilot program for residents located in the District of Sechelt. 

*Only home-owners may apply, not tenants.

We have 175 bear-resistant bins that are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

I am a resident in the District of Sechelt
 
I am the home owner of the address listed below.
 
There is a limited number of green organics bins that are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
 
I understand that this is bear-resistant, not proof and that I must store this bin in a secured area unless it is collection day.
 
I understand that I will need to bring in my rinsed organics bin to swap for a bear-resistant bin. Staff will notify me of the available dates and the swap will take place at the Operations Centre on Dusty Road.
 

Note:

We are unable to deliver bear-resistant bins to households. Residents who would like a bin will need to bring their rinsed organics bin to us to swap for a bear-resistant bin. Please wait for a confirmation email and swap date before bringing in your bin.
