City Council Tuesday night will review the long-awaited Zero Waste Resolution that advances the goals of producing a zero waste community.

Councilors will get an update on the resolution at 7 p.m.

In 2008, the council adopted a resolution declaring Longmont a zero waste community and encouraging zero waste practices, according to a city staff report to the city council. The 2016 Sustainability Plan pieced together the targets and strategies in the waste section of the plan.

In February 2021, councilors directed staff to update the Zero Waste Resolution to reflect “modern diversion goals, techniques and related engagement with the Longmont community,” the report states.

Tuesday night, the council will give feedback on proposed updates to the 2008 Zero Waste Resolution and timelines for completing the updates in 2022, the staff report states.
