TORONTO (CANADA) - Check out Toronto's latest weapon in the war on 'raccoon nation'



Toronto's putting its raccoons on a diet.The city begins rolling out new green bins next week, designed to lock out the perennial compost bandits.The raccoon-resistant latch sits on top of the green beans and has to be twisted at a 90-degree angle to open. That's something raccoons physically cannot do — at least according to the bin's manufacturer. "Raccoons apparently don't have thumbs so they don't have the ability to turn a lever," Rob Orpin, the city's director of collections and litter operations said with barely suppressed glee Monday. "There's not a raccoon that's gotten into it yet."
