Week of Oct 19 (Recycling Week) will be School Tour week for Urban Impact Plants
Urban Impact is happy to announce that we will be conducting school tours the week of October 19, 2009 which is also Recycling Week in Canada (funny how we planned that?!).
Nicole Stefenelli, found and President of Urban Impact will be conducting two tours each day that week. The ideal age for school tours seems to be Grade 5’s. We completed 12 tours in the Spring of 2009 and found that this age group was the most engaged, asked the best questions and had an excellent understanding of what Urban Impact does. Younger classes certainly gain knowledge from the tours, but it seems that their level of underestanding is not as complete.
Tours will focus what Urban Impact does (pick-up and processes recyclables):
- What Urban Impact does (receiving, processing and shipping recycling products), why companies like Urban Impact are important?
- How Urban Impact receives the recycling product (from our own trucks, suppliers and clients)?
- Where the materials come from (commercial clients, schools, municipal, etc.)?
- How we process the materials (Baler, Drumfeeder and Star Screen)
- Material storage
- Shipping product (by tractor / trailer and or container)
Other topics that often arise while on Tour:
- Where we ship the materials to (domestic and export)?
- Where the various ports are in the lower mainland?
- Security issues at the ports
- Value of the recycling materials and differences
- Foreign Exchange issues
- Buyers of recycled product
Do you know a school / class that may be interested, please have their teacher email info@urbanimpact.com to arrange for dates and transportation.
