According to U.S. Forest Service-Santa Fe National Forest, the driver picked up a dumpster and tilted it into the truck. He didn't know there was a bear in the dumpster. That is how the bear got on top of the truck.
The bear hung out for about an hour and then the garbage truck driver backed up to a tree, and the bear quickly scrambled off the truck and into the canyon.
