It’s hard to believe we down to the last few weeks of 2025!  Every year, Urban Impact commits to providing Shred Day event fundraisers for community-based charitable organizations.  Serving our communities and helping charities is a part of who we are.

In 2025, we crushed it!  Urban Impact is pleased to have served a cross section of communities. These are communities Urban Impact serves daily, making these events even more impactful.

On November 11, we observe Remembrance Day. It is a time to pause, reflect, and honour those who have served.

The red poppy remains a powerful symbol of remembrance. It grew among the graves of soldiers on the Western Front during the First World War and continues to represent the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces. The poppy is also the principal emblem of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Just like that, the clocks changed back an hour, and the weather changed to rain and wind.  With the arrival of fall, and darker days, Urban Impact would like to remind ourselves and our customers on some precautions we need to take ensure our drivers, trucks and communities stay safe. 

Part 2 of our Fall Safety Guide focuses on weather, darkness & road conditions.  Safety is an ongoing focus, and our drivers receive comprehensive training to handle seasonal hazards. 

Changing Road Conditions

When darkness starts earlier, and pumpkins start popping up on front porches, the spooky season is upon us once again! Halloween is creeping up fast. Dressing up in costumes, hoarding candy and putting up decorations makes it one of the most fun times of year, and is also one of the most wasteful. 

The Blue Bin Halloween Safety Blog is your resource to help you do your part to make Halloween more sustainable with a few simple tricks and treats.

Costumes: Reuse, Swap, Don’t Toss
