It\u2019s our job to stop it. Be a raccoon buddy by making sure you Respect Animals While Recycling! Here are a few tips to try at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Before they hit the recycling bin, be sure to wash out all containers REALLY well. You don\u2019t want to see any kind of food inside. If a container doesn\u2019t smell like food, it won\u2019t attract wildlife.<\/li><li>If something has sharp edges (like a tin can), place it at the bottom of   your recycling bin, farther away from any animals that might sniff around. You can also ask your parents to look for a can opener that make smooth edges instead of jagged ones.<\/li><li>Get a compost container with a tightly-fitting lid to prevent raccoons from getting inside (they\u2019re very clever). <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/earthrangers.com\/email\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/rawr-tile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-592189\" width=\"245\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/rawr-tile.png 435w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/rawr-tile-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Get more tips by accepting the RAWR Mission!
