WORLD’S FIRST CERTIFIED BEAR-RESISTANT COMPOSTER

The Grizzly Guard Composter is the world’s FIRST certified bear-resistant composter. User-friendly, compact, and with excellent curb appeal, the composter is certified by the Wildlife Management Institute, through paws-on testing with black bears.

A Fed Bear is a Dead Bear

Outdoor composting is problematic in bear habitat, due to human-wildlife conflict. Bears and humans suffer when organic material is not composted correctly or safely. This composter diverts organic material from the waste stream, reduces energy inputs, and creates soil, while supporting human wildlife coexistence. There are no recurring costs from curbside collection services, or transfer station tip fees. A one-time investment in a composter is a long term investment in a durable good providing years of service, peace of mind, and safety no matter the proximity to bears, scavengers, and dogs.

The Solution

This composter is a residential scale tumbler composter, in a ball and socket configuration. Organic inputs are placed in the 41 gallon ball through the hinged door. A lockable, wing-handle cam latch secures the door. The composting process is accelerated by spinning the ball on the socket. The ball has 20 holes, 1/4" diameter, that passively drain leachate, captured in the socket’s five gallon reservoir. When the socket’s reservoir is filled, remove the drain plug over an area to benefit from the nourishing leachate. Dimensions- height 36”, width 27”, weight 42 lbs. The composter is manufactured by rotational molding, a proven process for bear resistant products. The material is recycled low linear density polyethylene, using trimmings of other products. Made in USA- (Idaho). Patent pending.
