ReMA Operations Forum to Provide In-Depth Education on Safe & Efficient Scrap Recycling

(Washington, DC)– Registration is now open for the
Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries’ (ISRI) 2015 Operations Forum, to be
held September 30- October 3, at the JW Marriott in Houston, Texas. The forum
is a must attend event for those responsible for the safe and efficient
operation of scrap recycling facilities. ReMA just announced it has lowered the
cost of registration from $795 (Member)/$1,095 (Nonmember) to $425
(Member)/$725 (Nonmember) from now until September 30.

“Under difficult market
conditions, it is even more important to make sure you are operating your
facility in an efficient and effective manner,” said Chuck Carr, ISRI’s vice
president of member services. “That is why this year’s Operations Forum is providing
one of the strongest programs in a decade with workshops focused on improving
efficiencies, cost-saving maintenance, and safe operations at a reduced cost.”

The Operations Forum serves as
a mini-convention with programming to help recyclers design, maintain, and
operate more efficient facilities. Attendees of the Operations Forum can
arrange an educational itinerary that best meets their needs. This year’s sessions
are based on two tracks:

  • Shredder
    Operations    —For employees working directly
    with shredders and for those seeking a better understanding of materials
    flow in the yard;
  • Yard
    Design and Management    —For managers and supervisors
    involved in operations and personnel.

Registrants may attend any of
the sessions. In order to receive a Certificate of Completion in a single
track, participants must attend all workshop classes in their selected track
and General Sessions on Thursday and Friday, and participate in the Saturday
problem-solving workshops. Participants who choose programs from different
tracks may earn a General Operations Certificate provided they attend sessions
in all available time segments and attend the general sessions.

A copy of the full schedule and registration information is now available
online.
