Its a problem everywhere in Vancouver, we stopped raising chickens because of this, chickens are kinda dirty, their poop is everywhere...Gonna get cat in the near future.
Here is an interesting family from Cali, they don't work, just farm at the home, and they grow enough food for an adult family of 4 with 20,000 profit every year.
Hi, I will post some pics later. I made a rabbit run, so they can eat outside in the grass lawns.
Here is some garbage waste and composting tips, since we do composting in our backyard, there is significantly less garbage in the garbage bins and the green bins. So we called up the City hall to order us a 75L Green bin and 75L Garbage bin, its tiny, and more economical. We pay less taxes now.

My new hobby for green living is raising rabbits for meat. Its healthy and easier to manage than chickens, also they reproduce real fast. I have a little backyard farm now.
of course, harder work than i thought..too much feces, but the eggs are huge though, about 2x bigger than supermarket eggs. honeybees is next on my list.
