Are you tired of seeing trash strewn about the community? Worried about aggressive bears? Concerned about garbage rate increases? Saddened by bear fatalities? Interested in preserving our region’s wild bear population? On 17 December, the Board of Supervisors approved a garbage service rate adjustment whereby the 3-can residential customers would pay an additional $36 per month to voluntarily convert to bear-resistant containers. The community of Three Rivers has the ability to implement a more affordable and effective solution than the one currently offered by Tulare County and Mid Valley Disposal, and local residents are forming a committee to do just that.

The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote on garbage service rate increases at its regular meeting tomorrow morning, which commences at 9:30am. The new proposed rates include monthly surcharges for bear-resistant containers for residential customers in the Foothill Areas. There are several potential issues with this proposed solution to our bear-related garbage challenges. If you have an opinion, you are strongly encouraged attend the Board of Supervisors meeting at 2800 West Burrel Ave., or email [email protected] before 8am tomorrow morning.
