Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A black bear took an unexpected ride to a Knoxville trash center this week.
Officials with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency say the bear was dumpster diving when a truck came along and picked up the dumpster, taking its cargo to the Waste Connections trash center on Prosser Road.
The TWRA then responded to the scene, relocating the bear to a wildlife management area.
TWRA says the bear was a young male in good health. Officials remind you to always alert the right people and keep your distance whenever you do see a bear.
