Garbage eating bear, Ulster co NY
Ok here is the situation...
I live on a very private road. There are 3 houses total on our street. There is NYS land all around us. My neighbor which is 1000 feet away from my new log home I just built in Kingston, NY runs a daycare out of her house. Apparently the town does not know about this and it is not a "legal" daycare... Anyway....... the garbage gets picked up every Friday morning. She leaves her can outside all week and just throws all the trash into it as she sees fit. By tuesday the can is overflowing and they actually put the bags of trash on the ground! Well..... the bears found it. They are making a huge mess in the street and in her yard as well as across the street. The bears actually poop in the road which looks like elephant turds. The kids at daycare are on the swing sets which are about 50 feet from this trash. What should and what can be done about this? She has been told by the land owner across the street to pick up her trash but does not listen. Any help is appreciated
