Happy Halloween from Land Shark Shredding!

Over at Land Shark Shredding, we take Halloween very seriously. Haunted houses are one of our favorite fall pastimes. Pumpkin Alley is a local favorite. And if you don’t go to Jackson’s Orchard for pumpkin bread and cider, well, you’re simply doing it wrong.

As for our favorite costumes, we prefer anything shark-related. You can find the “Left Shark” from Katy Perry’s Super Bowl performance all over the internet. We’re also partial to Chevy Chase’s costume on Saturday Night Live. His “Land Shark” skits are our namesake, after all! We’ll have to keep an eye out if we find a costume that does Chevy’s justice. When it comes to Halloween, we don’t like to half-ass it!

In honor of Chevy, classic SNL and Halloween, we share with you a classic “Land Shark” compilation:

Top 3 Benefits of Free Shred Events

paducah-cofc-expo-2016

On October 20th, Land Shark Shredding attended the Business-to-Business Expo in Paducah, Kentucky. We had a truck on hand to shred any paper that our friends brought by. The best part – we’re did it all for FREE! That offer was only valid for the duration of Thursday’s event, but the good news is that we do similar events all the time. Free community shred events are important for a number of reasons. These are the three that we find to be the most crucial:

  • Community outreach

Free community shred events allow us to draw greater attention to the Land Shark brand while also performing a valuable service to our friends and neighbors. It affords us some face-time with the folks who use our services. This fosters invaluable connections and relationships; people see us, get to know us, and come to trust us for their needs. Not many companies do that, so we’re thrilled to provide Local Shred Events as something of a unique “perk” for our community.

  • Clutter cleanse

We love helping folks out. Community shred days provide a way for you to clean up and clear out all those mountains of old bills, receipts and mail piling up around your home. These events are almost always on weekends, so they’re convenient for you to get to while running errands. Oh, and did we mention you typically never pay a cent for services on Community Shred Days? Sometimes we partner with charities who request a small donation in exchange for paper disposal, but either way, we’re all doing some serious good.

  • Saving the environment

Speaking of doing serious good, all the materials collected during Community Shred Events are recycled. Once the truck is full at the end of the event, it’s hauled to a facility which makes big bales of all that shredded paper. Those bales are then sold to manufacturers of paper towels, toilet paper, napkins and the like. So just think… you could literally be wiping your backside with those old bills. As the recycled napkins at Chipotle say, “Forgive and forget.” Might as well. Together, we’re saving the world one shred event at a time.

Don at the Chicago Marathon!

On October 9th, Don participated in the Chicago Marathon. He completed the full 26.2 mile run with a time of 5:23:55. That’s 5 hours, 23 minutes, 55 seconds to be exact. We are so extraordinarily proud of him and of everyone from the Bowling Green area who made the trip in order to participate. Here are just a small handful of the many highlights from the trip:

Finally, here’s the boss-man himself crossing the finish line! It’s truly an incredible sight seeing Don make it all the way to the end of such a prestigious event. The man never ceases to amaze us. Keep up the good work, boss!

 

Household Hazardous Waste Day

14368864_1090449994367142_3508962022707309179_n

It is time to get rid of all of that hazardous waste lurking in your home and garage! Bowling Green, Kentucky and Warren County, Kentucky governments (in association with local businesses) are sponsoring a “Household Hazardous Waste Day.” Bring unused chemicals, waste oil, herbicides, pesticides, devices containing mercury, as well as small appliances for proper disposal. We’ll also be taking old computers and monitors for recycling. Of course, Land Shark Shredding will be on hand to shred any paper documents you need to get rid of.

Oh, and did we mention that you can have all of these things taken off your hands FREE OF CHARGE???

However, let it be known that some items cannot and will not be accepted. These include scrap tires, automotive junk / debris, refrigerated appliances, smoke detectors, and any other items containing harmful or radioactive material.

This event will be held at the Warren County Salt Barn located at 999 Lauren Avery Drive in Bowling Green near Bristow Elementary School, off of US 31-W. Signs will be posted, so you won’t miss us! Come by anytime between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM CDT on Saturday, October 29th.

You can find more information and direct questions to the event organizers on the event’s Facebook page.
