Welcome
Guest speakers (Representatives of the City Council, and Atlanta Police Department)
Valencia Hudson, Representative, Natayln Archibong: She spoke about trash & recycling pickup and noted that the big takeaway regarding trash pickup was that they are not going to pick up trash (bagged or otherwise) that is not in the herbie. She will confirm whether or not shredded paper should be bagged.
