Our Project!







Our Solutions!

The Urbe Program provides a variety of activities to communicate the 4Rs concepts to the community. The activities identified provide programming that supports access to the 4Rs message for a large number of students (e.g., assemblies) and services that focus on content in depth (e.g., classroom presentations), resulting in a comprehensive approach.

The Urbe Program has adopted student outcomes in three areas: knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors as results of the 4Rs education services and activities. The education services provided as part of the Urbe Program are continuously evaluated to ensure the education services are meeting the needs of the population they serve.

The Programs goal is to have its services, which are delivered in schools or during school hours, correlated to the state content standards. Delivery of services correlated to state content standards adds validity to the waste reduction message and helps universities achieve their core mission, academic achievement. The Schools Program, to meet the needs of the universities, must be flexible and adapt its education services to current academic conditions and climate. It is important to measure both qualitatively and quantitatively the 4Rs services provided.

Quantitative measurement, such as the number of students or teachers served, provides feedback on cost effectiveness and equity. Qualitative measurement provides information on topics such as what do students know, believe, or practice. The strategies in this plan are implemented through the direct programs that the URBE undertakes, through the member agencies that negotiate franchises for solid waste and recycling as well as undertake their own local programs, and through cooperative relationships with the various haulers, processors, generators, and other stakeholders.

Implementing a recycling program depends greatly upon URBE partners in this area, especially the member agencies, haulers, and processors. The extent to which URBE can support and enhance the operations and programs of these partners can expand its impact beyond its direct budget and control. This plan assumes that the players below assume the following roles.

Industrial Recycle Group!

These Project seeks to educate URBE students about waste reduction and responsible environmental behaviors through the 4Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle and rot) concepts.

The URBE Program offers a comprehensive approach, including educational programs, teacher training and technical support for the university district, with the following three goals in mind:

1. Students are empowered to engage in 4Rs behaviors

2. Students practice 4Rs behaviors in URBE

3. Students apply 4Rs behaviors in everyday life.

To achieve these three goals, the URBE Program is focused on two major areas: recycling infrastructure and education.

Using the electronic dictionary

Increase safety and productivity

Many of the jobs performed by workers in a production environment require the movement or positioning of large and heavy objects; objects that are too heavy or bulky to be safely or efficiently moved by a production worker When this is the case, it is often in the best interest of a company and the worker to use some sort of work positioner to get the job done. Commonly used work positioners include manipulators, hoists, lift tables, and tilting devices. Manipulators and hoists are tools that aid workers in handling either heavy or awkward loads. Not only do they protect workers from unnecessary strain and possible injuries, they also prevent damage to the materials and equipment being moved or positioned. While both manipulators and hoists can be used to raise and lower loads, manipulators can provide vertical and horizontal positioning, as well as rotational
