MISSOULA — Republic Services is reminding people to dispose of bear spray correctly for the safety of their employees.
Customers were texted and called customers on Monday night as a friendly reminder to throw away bear spray in the correct manner.
For the safety of everyone, make sure the canister is fully discharged and wrapped in a bag before throwing it away.
Go outside and spray the can down air until fully discharged.
If you're unable to do this, you can take it to a hazardous material disposal site or one of the stations at Glacier National Park.
