You are buying the anti's lies.

A bear has a huge range and the same bear in your garbage is the same bear 5 miles into the woods. They come out because there is less food in the woods.

It's a good idea to be neat with your garbage. In locking up your garbage you have protected your garbage but this does nothing for wildlife management.

If we have an abundance of any game animal we should harvest the surplus. To do anything else is not responsible conservation.
