In the 1950 census, there were a little more than 8,000 people in Longmont. That is less than 10 percent of today's population of just over 100,000 residents. World War II had just ended, Longmont and its residents were just recovering and the City began its Waste Services program, a service that has continued and itself expanded through the last three-quarters of a century. 'In 1948, Our City leaders had the forethought to create waste collection service to benefit the community and its environment,' said Charles Kamenides, Waste Services Manager.
