Are wildlife-resistant or wildlife-proof containers required in Durango?

Wildlife resistant containers are only required after receiving a wildlife scattering trash violation. Otherwise, wildlife resistant containers are optional, but highly encouraged. These containers significantly reduce the chance that wildlife will get into your trash and therefore reduce the chance you could be fined for scattered trash.
