Within the boundaries of Sierra County Service Area 2, it is unlawful to place, leave, or allow to be left outside any bear-proof structure any food substance or other substance which would reasonably be expected to attract bears, including but not limited to garbage, unless such substance is placed in a sealed, bear-proof container. Further, it shall be the duty of every person in possession, charge, or in control of any dwelling, flat, rooming house, apartment house, trailer camp, hospital, hotel, school, club, restaurant, boardinghouse or eating place, or in possession, charge or control of any shop, place of business, or manufacturing establishment where garbage is created or accumulated, at all times to keep or cause such garbage to be kept in bear-proof containers or bear-proof structures. Each bear-proof container or structure shall be kept clean inside and out, so that no odor or nuisance shall exist. Covers shall not be removed except when necessary to place garbage in a bear-proof container or to take the same therefrom. The bear-proof container or structure shall not be overloaded to the extent whereby covers cannot be securely replaced, or the structure securely closed. (Ord. 756, eff. 3/8/90)
