Vancouver is struggling with litter. Businesses have hired special cleaning workers called 'poop fairies' to clean up the streets after human waste was found on the streets. Last year, the city received 761 complaints about public defecation.

Vancouver is a city known for its natural beauty and good lifestyle. But the problem of human waste has become so severe that special workers have been assigned to speed up the removal of litter from the sidewalks. Pedestrians walking on the sidewalks are becoming unbearable. A special program was launched four years ago to address complaints about this and to conduct proactive patrols and remove litter in the downtown and downtown eastside areas of Vancouver. However, this has not been able to completely solve the problem. Several reasons have been pointed out for this. Although there are public toilets in the area for the homeless, they are often inadequate. People with mental disabilities do not use public toilets. Many say that drug use is also a factor in this problem. They say that there are situations where drug users cannot control themselves and defecate in public places.
