August Notes from Mike.
Happy August! As we head into the busy fall shrink wrap season, it might be a good idea to visit our online How-To / Training Section for quick reference guides and short videos on boat wrapping. Also, just a reminder to take advantage of the convenience of placing your orders on our website. You have the option of shipping on your own shipping accounts, checking out with your NET 30 terms, viewing past online orders, and payment methods can be securely saved to your account.
Our warehouse racks are stocked and we are ready to ship! If you are in Michigan and usually come to our location to pick up your orders, please make sure you read the section below on changes for customer pickups this year due to COVID-19.
Be well and stay healthy. As always, please let us know what we can do for you. Thank you for working with us.
-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

SHRINK WRAP A BOAT FOR STORAGE VIDEO

Brightmark Pilots Recycling Program in Indiana
California-based Brightmark Energy has completed a pilot program for boat shrink wrap collection with a marine services dealer located near the company’s plastics-to-fuel plant in the Steuben County town of Ashley, Indiana. Brightmark says the project, supported by the Northeast Indiana Solid Waste Management District, aimed to divert the boat shrink wrap taken from boats in winter storage from going into the waste stream.
The company says that it can create a second use for the old shrink wrap by turning it into a fuel source for local vehicles and powerboats instead of it ending up in a landfill. With more than 11 million boats registered in the U.S., many of them need to be shrink wrapped in the winter months. With that amount of shrink wrap removed and then recycled properly, it would equal nearly 21,000 barrels of renewable fuel.
Dr. Shrink supplies the REBAG Recycling Kit, which is available to all customers throughout the continental United States, in addition to our annual Recycling Run throughout the state of Michigan. Thank you to everyone who properly recycles your shrink wrap covers every season. You are making a difference and we appreciate your effort to keep this material out of the landfill.


Local/Customer PickUps
Due to COVID restrictions and keeping our employees and customers safe, there have been changes made to our Customer Pick-Up process. Absolutely no customers are currently allowed inside of our building or warehouse at any time, for any reason. We are still allowing customers to drive-up to pick up their orders. Customer pick-ups and ‘will-call’ orders will be allowed only if the following rules can be met:
- All orders are called in advance and prepaid. Orders must be paid in advance via credit card or mailed check. No cash payment accepted on site.
- Customers must remain in their vehicle at all times.
- Customers will call upon arrival and let Dr. Shrink know what name they are picking up under.
Dr. Shrink staff will load the material if:
- The vehicle has a separate trunk, truck bed, or SUV rear gate.
- The vehicle has ample space to load.
- The space is cleared for the material prior to loading.
Dr. Shrink staff will not load the material if:
- There is insufficient space.
- The space is not cleared.
- The customer wants the product in the back/front seats of the vehicle
Customers are welcome to load their own material if they are physically able. Please make sure you reference the weight and dimensions of your shrink wrap rolls and other items to be able to accommodate your pick-up. Thank you for your understanding!
