First off, secure your garbage can so it cannot be opened by the bear. Try very strong bungy cords on the lid and secure the can so it cannot be tilted over. Place rat traps on the top of the can, they don't hurt the bear but discourage his sniffing.

First the cans must be made of steel at least 1/8th inch thick or the bear will just rip it open no matter what else you do.

Second the lid must be on a hinge welded to the can, and have a latch to hold it shut that a bear can't operate.

Third the can must be either bolted down from inside to a solid concrete surface or latched into a steel frame that is bolted down to a solid concrete surface. This prevents the bear from picking it up and smashing it open.

How many garage cans are sold a year in US?

I assume you mean "garbage cans", not "garage cans". I don't know how many garbage cans are sold each year in the US. I do know that a new heavy duty garbage can on wheels is assumed to last only 5 years. In reality, I think most people use a garbage can for longer than that.
