Either there isn't any raccoons or bears in TV, or the guarded gates and community watch folks revoked their gate passes.

Once in a while you WILL see trash bags ripped open by wildlife in
our 'hood... but...ours has NEVER been messed with by animals...
...I wonder......
...could it be the common household/laundry ammonia keeps them away.
I ALWAYS pour a little IN the bags....and... drizzle a little around the bags
when they are put out the night before pickup.
Ammonia is an amazing pest control.....
......prior to living IN the Villages had a den of skunks living IN the 12 inch
tube under our driveway approach.
Late one night...as they were out and about...I poured TWO Gallons in each end of the tube. Never saw them again.
Works for snakes, also.
