Bungees work well for me. I run the bungee through the second handle and attach it to my chain link fence, so they can't even knock the can down.
My problem is always collection day. The truck comes around or before 7am in my area, so I have to put the cans out the night before. If I leave bungees on my trash can at the curb, the garbage guys (sanitation engineers?) won't even touch it.

We have a purpose made spring fastener to keep our trash can lid closed. Wouldn't be without it!

RE: Noisy racoons
How do you discourage racoons from not even coming near the trash can? I have a bungee cord on my can and it works great. The racoon can't get in but he/she tries and bangs the can all to pieces in the wee hours of the morning. Help! Many sleepless nights! Thanks

RACOONS Keeping The Lid On Your Garbage Can
Hello.
Very much appreciate these thoughts about discouraging outdoor activities of raccoons, but can you offer advice about what to do when RACCOONS have taken up living inside the walls of a house, and make a loud racket, and chew on things?
Thanks.
Want to encourage them to live elsewhere, and really don't know how. Nothing has worked so far.

It doesn't hurt to put your name & address in permanent marker on your trash can lid. For just in case the lid does blow off, then when found, someone can return it.

We use bungee cords on our trashcan to keep the raccoons out.
