Manure

Fecal matter produced by animals (chickens, cows, sheep, pigs), typically used for soil enrichment/fertilizer.

Consider offering online or to community gardeners for composting if you have horses, livestock, chickens, or rabbits.

The Bay Area Equestrian Network lists manure management companies.
