Wishing everyone in the Land Shark Shredding community a safe, restful, and happy Labor Day!
Earth Day 2017 was a huge success!
Kevin hard at work
On April 22nd, Land Shark Shredding partnered with local authorities to offer a day of free shredding services. “Household Hazardous Waste Day” encouraged members of our community to get their spring cleaning done and to learn about proper disposal methods. We think there’s no better way to celebrate Earth Day!
Kevin took one of our trucks to Franklin, Kentucky, and the community there shredded 5,280 pounds of paper! In Bowling Green, Brittany posted up at Greenwood High School, where we chomped through a whopping 8,920 pounds of paper! That’s a total of 14,200 pounds.
If our math is correct, that’s 7.1 tons of paper recycled. This means that, in celebration of Earth Day, the Land Shark community saved approximately:
- 119 trees
- 1,925 pounds of sulfur
- 553 gallons of oil
- 700 gallons of gasoline
- 2,450 pounds of lime
- 63,000 pounds of steam
- 49,000 gallons of water
- 28 kilowatt hours of electricity (Enough to power your home for nearly 3 years!)
- 23.1 cubic yards of landfill space
Those are stats to be proud of! South Central Kentucky has quite the green thumb, and Land Shark Shredding hopes to keep it that way! Thank you to all who came out to our Earth Day events. Stay tuned for more in the future!

The World’s Greatest Slot Machine
These slots have teeth.
NAID 2017 offered up loads of fun and insightful experiences, but this one has to take the cake. One of the casinos we visited had a SHARKNADO slot machine!
No, your eyes do not deceive you. At long last, our favorite guilty pleasure finally has its own slot machine.
This is it. America has peaked. It’s all downhill from here. Well, at least until we go back to Vegas and land the perfect winning spin. Sadly, but unsurprisingly, the “sharknado” pretty much ate up our wallets this time. But like the franchise itself, you can bet we’ll be back for a “sequel.”
NAID 2017 Conference happening March 22-24
The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) hosts its annual conference next week. This year, data security professionals from all over the world descend on Las Vegas to share insight on the latest industry trends.
Don and Emily B. will represent Land Shark Shredding at the conference, and they can’t wait to catch up with friends and colleagues from all over!
[UPDATE]: We’ve got a few photos to share from the trip!
Day One: Don, Maura and Emily gear up for a wild week in Las Vegas, including what looks like a fun limo ride for the blind man!
Day Two: Don poses with the rest of the NAID Board of Directors.

Don at the Seaside School Half Marathon
Further proof that our boss is the coolest! Last weekend, Don traveled to Seaside, Florida to participate in the Seaside School Half Marathon. Seaside is the boss’s favorite travel destination so getting him to run here was a no-brainer! Don finished the half-marathon with a time of 2 hours and 17 minutes! From what he tells us, his effort was rewarded with plenty of R&R on the beach.
We’re all so proud of you, boss! Just promise to bring the rest of us along on the next trip. Call it “team bonding.”

NAID News : Alleged Illegal Shredding a Reminder that There is a “Right” Way
Paper shredding doesn’t just affect Kentucky. It affects everyone the world over.
The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) shared an article from The Sun which claims that a Metropolitan Police unit in England illegally destroyed classified documents regarding political targets.
The alleged incident occurred in 2014 when current British prime minister Theresa May (acting then as Home Secretary) ordered an investigation of the Met’s undercover work.
May’s investigation followed claims that undercover police officers targeted the grieving family of a murdered black teenager, as well as female political activists in order to obtain information. The “undercover” work went as far as some officers fathering children with the activists.
As this latest development unfolds, it could spell massive trouble for the Metropolitan Police.

LSS recognized at 2017 Annual Chamber Dinner
Last Monday night, the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce hosted their Annual Dinner. At the event, the Chamber recognized local businesses that fostered “success, talent and innovation” in 2016. Land Shark Shredding made the cut!
See what nice things the Chamber said about us in these tweets:
In 2016, @LandSharkShred purchased two new trucks and added 100+ new customers.
— BG Area Chamber (@BGChamber) February 6, 2017
In 2016, @LandSharkShred purchased $150K plant-based shredding system & shredded 2M+ lbs of confidential records & docs.
— BG Area Chamber (@BGChamber) February 6, 2017
@LandSharkShred won 5 federal gov't contracts & doubled KY gov't business. Also doing business in 15 states from coast to coast.
— BG Area Chamber (@BGChamber) February 6, 2017
In 2017, @LandSharkShred will move to new 10K sq. ft. BG headquarters, while opening first branch office in New Orleans, LA in April.
— BG Area Chamber (@BGChamber) February 6, 2017
You probably didn’t even know that we operate outside of Kentucky, but all of what @BGChamber says is true! I’ll add that our fancy new “plant-based shredding system” is in storage just waiting for us to move into our new headquarters! Until then, we’re excited to expand and continue to work hard for YOU. Together, we can top last year’s 2 million pounds shredded!
What an exciting time to be a Land Shark shredder!
Bowling Green Massacre…?
On Thursday, Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway said this on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews:
Thankfully, no such “massacre” ever occurred in Bowling Green, Kentucky during Obama’s presidency. More “alternative facts,” Kellyanne?
That said, we at Land Shark Shredding have been known to do a number around the city, at least on unwanted paper. Just look at what havoc our mobile shredders wreak on old documents. It’s quite a feat to go from this…
…to this on a daily basis!
On a serious note, for the entire Land Shark Shredding family, we would just like to say that we are thankful that no act of evil the likes of which Ms. Conway alluded to has ever transpired in our fair city. We hope and pray every single day that Bowling Green remains a safe, friendly place to call home.
