Longmont gets composty

The photo illustration of what can be composted that ran with the Longmont Times Call story on the city's new pilot composting program.

The city of Longmont plans to launch a pilot curbside composting program this spring, according to a story in today’s Times Call.

If the pilot is successful, Longmont will start a citywide program in 2011.

A year ago, Boulder expanded its own pilot curbside composting program to serve the entire city.

Eight months later, Boulderites were using the composting program — along with the single-stream recycling program — to divert 50 percent of their trash from the landfill.

If you live in Boulder County and you want to know how you can compost, check out the composting resource page on BigGreenBoulder. Read more about Longmont’s program here, or check out an article on the success of Boulder’s program at DailyCamera.com.
