This was taken from our county Facebook page of a “visitor” who could not get out of the garbage dumpster where we take our garbage and recycling. Obviously the dump was closed until they could relocate the visitor.

BOLO: Last seen at the Connestee Solid Waste site. Likes: Picnic baskets, edible garbage and hanging out with Smokey Dislikes: Being told “no climbing in the trash containers”…. all in a day’s work for our solid waste employees! #iServeTransylvania #lovewildlife

Leave a commentYeah, I’d hold off on taking out the garbage. 🤪
Hehe. Yep. It can wait. 🙂
That poor bear! Glad they could help get it out of there.
I am sure they had to tranquilize it and relocate it someplace safer. I can’t believe we don’t have more issues there. It is just an open trailer that would be very easy to get into and since there was not a lot of garbage in it it was impossible for him to get back out. Poor guy!
Not the kind of neighbor you’d enjoy running into at the dumpster!
Poor guy. I hope he has a happy home now. Would be scary to come across though when getting rid of your garbage.
…and bears, oh, my!
That will be a big surprise when taking your trash to the dump. lol
Oh, my goodness. I don’t think I would have been able to snap a picture in the moment.
I suspect the sanitation workers (or whatever they are called) had a few choice words when they got there and discovered him. I probably would have taken a shot if I knew he couldn’t get out and run up on me!
