Scenario
The Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is opening a depot at the University of Manitoba Fort Garry Campus. The organization’s goal is to reduce the number of electronic devices that end up in landfills by accepting end-of-life electronic devices (old cellphones, laptops, etc.) and recycling reusable materials like glass, plastic, copper, palladium.
Electronic devices are received by the physical plant on behalf of the EPRA, who contracts a third-party vendor to transport them to a recycling depot when the stockpiles get high enough. The vendor has missed the last three pickup appointments, and when they do show up, they are often late or only take a partial load of recycling.
As the Communications Coordinator for the University, you’ve been asked to write a complaint email to the EPRA asking them to resolve the problem, making it clear what you’re asking for, why it’s important and timelines for resolution.
