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.
