Thanks to all of you, Tulare County staff agreed to meet with the Bear Smart Three Rivers Team! During the meeting, county staff expressed strong support for certified bear-resistant trash containers for everyone in Three Rivers. These containers must be affordable, however, and the Bear Smart team needs your help.

For months, the unincorporated community of Three Rivers has been trying to get Tulare County to collaborate on a proven solution to a serious garbage service failure that has resulted in an escalating crisis. Recently, the community launched a petition and an email campaign in an effort to get the county’s attention and work together towards a solution. The county has responded with an anonymous email advocating a plan that has failed in all jurisdictions that have tried it.
