Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Hyattsville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Trash collection and public cans
The committee is refining a cost document for various waste reduction strategies to eventually hand to Public Works and the city. Questions for the vendor Waste Zero are being collected before the next meeting.
