February certainly seems to be a month where we celebrate love and kindness.

First we start off with Valentine’s Day, a day of chocolates, cute candies and letters of appreciation to our loved ones. On February 20, 2023 we acknowledge and celebrate those most near and dear to us on Family Day. We end February with Pink Shirt Day on February 22, 2023, a day of awareness and support of kindness and acceptance of others. 

To all of our Customers and Suppliers,

2022 was certainly a whirlwind for us all!

The end of 2022 certainly had many challenges including the weather over Christmas and New Year’s.  Some routes were delayed because of road and weather conditions.  We apologize for any delay in servicing your locations.  We do not like to miss routes or services. We, along with yo,  prefer to get the job done on the day it was scheduled. 

Winter is a time for cozy sweaters, hanging lights, and baking warm sweet treats. It is also the time of year when winter storms can make roadways treacherous for drivers. 

It appears this winter will likely continue to be snowy and icy creating challenges and having significant impact on day-to-day life for recycling and waste management business and shredding operations throughout British Columbia.  Urban Impact would like to share a few tips to help keep your service from being uninterrupted and keep our drivers safe.

How do you make a meaningful connection with your various teams and their individual members? Engaging team members is something I think about a lot!   

Team engagement, interest and passion are topics of so many conversations, webinars, and learnings especially in this day where talent is extremely challenging to find and important to keep.  Urban Impact is of course not immune to the trends of the economy. Being a smaller locally operated group, we, too, work hard at keeping our teams full staffed, engaged, and productive.
