Thats a pretty incredible undertaking....I have one child that makes more garbage that that in a day.

My understanding is that in Mississauga, Ontario, you can only put out two bags of garbage per week before you get charged additional...imagine if that applied in Calgary? Based on how much garbage I see in our neighborhood on garbage day, it would be insane.
I know what you mean about kids and garbage though...it does make you think about all those disposable diapers. But you contrast that with the water and energy usage of reusable ones, and there's no clear guidance for your average consumer.
