BinClaw's development arose from the experience of having to pick up food garbage from all over our neighbour's yards after the raccoons got into the bins. After the realization that existing critter-proofing solutions were flawed, each in its own way, the effort to develop a better bin-securing device began. BinClaw evolved in many ways before arriving at its finished form. Now it provides users with a way to secure their bins tightly with confidence and convenience.
