Bear encounters with humans are becoming more prevalent.

Waste carts are the most common meeting point, which leads to tighter regulations from wildlife commissions and municipalities, and results in more haulers supplying bear-tough carts for waste collection.

Choosing the right type of bear-tough cart can make a huge difference in the waste collection process. By making a simple checklist of fundamental bear-tough cart features during the purchasing process, it can have a positive effect on business by increasing customer satisfaction while solving the human-bear conflict. With this in mind, it’s beneficial for haulers to have a solid understanding of cart strengths and weaknesses when selecting the right cart for their specific needs and applications.

The collection and maneuvering of waste can present a whole host of problems for those who don’t have the right bear-tough carts. The major concerns for haulers are ergonomics issues that can create liability caused from overexertion by collection workers and homeowners and inefficiencies from carts that don’t work correctly resulting in adding extra time to the job and additional costs. It’s beneficial to have a solid understanding of cart strengths and weaknesses when selecting the best bear-tough cart. The cart material, design and certifications can make a huge difference in the success of a hauler’s bear-tough cart collection business.
