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.
