I've heard that by the time they get done polishing up the ice they have quite a bit of it collected. Is this enough for an urban setup and what should I do to get ahold of some? Anybody tried this?

yeah its definitely enough. you have to have a truck tho and you have to go back and get more every couple hours. if there's more than one rink in your area that works best

I've done it a few times, you need about a truckload of snow to last you one summer day. or about a truckload for a fall day or two

if you you dont have a pick-up, just get 3 or 4 big plastic trash cans and fill those up and you'll have enough snow

If you dont have a truck, put a tarp over the back/trunk of your car and load it up, then load up bins and put them on the back seats and/or on top of the car...plan to be incapable of going over 50 mph

i heard the ice they used had chemicals in it to help it keep from melting. this true? obviously bad to eat but bad for skis?

Usually they have a ton of snow, more than enough for what you need.
