Sustainable Maryland Application Natural Resources Innovative Demonstration Projects Composting Pilot Program

Points Requested: 10

As part of the City effort to divert the amount of waste going to the Prince George’s County landfill, the City of Hyattsville, in partnership with Prince George’s County, piloted a compost program in the City in 2015. The City provides backyard compost bins to residents wishing to participate free of charge. The City then picks up the bins and brings the compost to Prince George’s County’s composting facility in Upper Marlboro. The pilot program began with 40 volunteer households and has grown to 60 households in just one year. There is still a waitlist for participation. An interesting note about the compost program is that 75% of participants do not volunteer with the City in any other capacity, so the composting program has proven to be an effective way to engage new residents. The program is advertised via a variety of platforms, including the City’s website and Facebook page, as well as through notices taken out in the Hyattsville Reporter. The budget for this program is in the Department of Public Works Solid Waste budget.

Hyattsville Reporter Reportero de Hyattsville No. 300 • December 10, 2014 Santa With a Badge

Don’t be alarmed if you see a line of police cars streaming towards Prince George’s Plaza this Saturday. Just look to see if they’re being led by a team of reindeer. The twelfth Operation Santa with a Badge in Hyattsville

www.hyattsville.org • 301-985-5000

is expected to help more than 100 lessfortunate youngsters get holiday presents. Each one will be accompanied by a police officer, and will spend a gift certificate donated by a retailer, resident or agency. “We started off with 13 children and we’ve grown every year,” said Hyattsville Police Department Sergeant Mike Rudinski, who founded the Operation in 2003. Area elementary schools identify the children with financial need who participate, and Rudinski recruits the officers and volunteers that accompany them. Rudinski said the program is great because it buy gifts for so many five- to 12-year-olds, and also reminds the officers of their own personal values. “You’ll see officers reach into their pocket to supplement the gift certificate because the kid wants to buy mom a coat for the winter,” Rudinski said. After the shopping is finished this year, everyone will go to a party at Northwestern High School. Outback Steakhouse will provide the food, and Santa will be in attendance. To make a donation, or for more information, please contact Sergeant Mike Rudinski at [email protected]

Let Teenagers Vote? How To Spend Your Taxes?

Hyattsville’s Mayor and City Council is pondering these question, and they want public input to help them make decisions. They invite residents to participate in two public hearings. First, on December 15 you are encouraged to

share your opinion on next year’s City budget. And then on January 5 come say what you think about allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in City elections. Both hearings will be at 7 p.m. at the Hyattsville Municipal Building, 4310 Gallatin Street. For more information, contact City Clerk Laura Reams at 301-9855009 or [email protected].

Participants will receive, free of charge, a small countertop container, a larger outdoor container, and regular compost pickup. The City hopes to get the program started soon. If you are interested in joining, please contact Colleen Aistis at 301985-5057 or [email protected].

Cut that out!

Hey you! Yes, you, the one dumping a truckload of yard waste in Magruder Woods. Stop doing that! Dumping in public parks is illegal – no matter if it’s yard waste or trash, by the truckload or handful. When you are caught, you will be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to $30,000 and five years in prison. But even before you are caught, you are making parks less great for your neighbors and community. And all to save yourself the fee for going to the actual dump – just $10 for a pick-up-truck load. If you see illegal dumping, report it to Hyattsville Police at 301-985-5060. If you’re a dumper – CUT IT OUT!!!

Santa con Placa de Policía

Es possible que Ud. vea una linea de autos de policía corriendo al Plaza de Prince George este sabado. Pero en vez de preocupar, vea a ver si en frente hay un equipo de reno. El duodécimo Operación Santa con Placa de Policía en Hyattsville se espera ayudar mas de 100 niños pobres a comprar regalos para las fiestas. A cada uno se acompañará una policía, y gastará un certificado de regalo donado por una tienda, residente o agencia. “Empezamos con 13 niños y hemos crecido todos los años,” dijo Sargento Mike Rudinski, del Departmento de Policía de Hyattsville, quien creó la Operación en 2003. Escuelas primarias en el area eligen los niños con necesidades que participan, y Rudinski reclute las policías y los volun-

tarios que les acompañan. Rudinski dijo que el gran programa ayuda tantos niños de 5 a 12 años de edad, y también recuerda a las policías de sus valores personales. “Ven policías metiendo la mano en su bolsillo para complementar el certificado de regalo porque el niño quiere comprar una chaqueta para la mama para el invierno,” dijo Rudinski. Después de comprar este año, todos van a la Preparatoria Northwestern para una fiesta. La comida se proveerá Outback Steakhouse, y Santa va a asistir.

ayudarles en decidir. Invitan a los residentes a participar en dos audiencias publicas. Primero, el 15 de diciembre todos están invitado a compartir su opinión sobre el presupuesto de la Ciudad. Y después, el 5 de enero vengan y digan que piensan de la posibilidad de permitir los jovenes de 16 y 17 años a votar en elecciones municipales. Las dos reuniones serán a las 7 p.m. en el Edificio Municipal, 4310 Gallatin Street. Para más información, contacte a la Secretaria de la Ciudad Laura Reams en 301985-5009 o [email protected].

¡Ya Basta!

¡Oye tú! Sí, tú, que estás botando un pickup de basura del jardin en el Bosque Magruder. ¡Parate! Botar en parques publicos es ilegal – no importa si es por camión o puñado. Cuando te atrapan, te cargan con un delíto y puede pagar hasta $30,000 y cinco años en la cárcel. Pero antes de que te atrapan, estás empeorando las parques para sus vecinos y comunidad. Y todo para guardar el dinero de llevar su basura al vertedero – que cuesta $10 para un pickup de basura. Si vea alguien botando, llame al policía en 301-985-5060. Si estás botando – ¡YA BASTA!
