A simple and very cheap way to keep raccoons out of your garbage. Simply hook the securely closed garbage pail a few inches above the ground, against a wall. To pry open lids the clever animals use leverage by tipping the pails over, then using their wieght and position to knock the lid off. This way, the pail swings back and forth but never rests horizontally - frustrating the masked creature into submission. I've watched and it works for me.

There is a much simple solution. Use Raccoon Garbage Bin solution solution froom raccoonsolutions.com. All you need to do is to latch the hooks on two sides of the garbage can, snap the buckle and tighten. There, you live a raccoon free life!
