Doug Locks Garbage Up Tight

"Waste Management of Alaska put its new bear-resistant cans through what was to be a final test Monday, with help from Alaska Zoo black bears. Mavis and Zayk ate out of the containers over the weekend, and on Monday they were given the locked container with their favorite foods inside. After thrashing the can for about 20 minutes, above, Zayk popped the lid and got his reward, left. Doug Daniels of WMA said the company will fine-tune the locking mechanism and wheels and offer the cans to customers on the Hillside and Girdwood in April. "
