    Locking dumpsters is important in some areas so wild life dosen’t get into them. To quote the National Parks service,

    “There is a significant overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest humans”.

      Most businesses lock the dumpsters because trash service is expensive, and if you don’t lock them people will pull up with a pickup bed full of trash and fill them up.
