Eco-Cycle outreach targets Longmont Latinos

With the help of the city of Longmont, Eco-Cycle is launching an outreach program designed to encourage more recycling in the city’s Latino community.

The large influx of Latinos to the Longmont area over the past 20 years is a major driving force behind the new program, said Dan Benavidez, the compliance and logistics manager of Boulder Imports and a former City Council member.

“The demographics in this region — and all over the country — have changed radically,” he said, noting in particular the large number of Latinos of Mexican origin who live in Longmont.”*
