While it may indeed be bear hunting season I don't think that a dumpster is an approved method of baiting bear but then I am not a hunter so I could be wrong.

To bait bear, a permit (Fish and Game form 180) and map of the bait site must be filed with the local conservation officer before placing the bait. One bait site is allowed in WMUs A, B, D1, H1, H2, I2, K, L and M; two baits are allowed in the remainder of the state. Only the person listed on the permit may bait or add any bait. The bait site must have a legible sign, at least 3 inches by 6 inches, with baiter's name and address and may have names of 2 other persons listed who could then take bear over the bait. Baiting permits are available at regional offices

Again, I an not familiar with the exact location of the dumpster in relation with the restaurant building, but I would guess that it might be within the restricted zone.

Of course if the bear was an illegal alien then all bets are off!
