February Notes from Mike.
Thank you to everyone who came and donated blood a couple weeks ago at our blood drive! We had 17 whole blood donations and 1 double red cell donation! Our next blood drive is scheduled for April 6th with the Versiti Blood Bus.
We’ve had some great feedback and questions regarding expanding into new shrink wrap industries and trying new shrink wrap applications. If you need some guidance or advice on a particular application, I would like to remind you we have a handy form on our website where you can fill in your contact information and upload photos of the item you want to wrap; this helps our technical advisors with recommending the perfect width, length, and mil thickness of shrink wrap for your particular product or application. You can find that form here.
Our travel and trade show schedule is busy the next couple months. We are looking forward to seeing current customers and potential new customers all across the nation at several shows. Please always feel free to contact us if you need anything, and thank you for working with us!
Warmest Regards,
-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

Let's Prepare for Recycling Run 2023!
The Recycling Run program has been the official collection program for shrink wrap boat covers in Michigan for well over 10 years! Join the over 50 marinas, boat dealers, and individuals across the state of Michigan in reducing your waste and keeping our harbors clean!
WHY RECYCLE SHRINK WRAP BOAT COVERS?
- Keeps the Great Lakes clean and waste free
- For every bag recycled, there is a savings of 115 Kwh of energy, 13.5 gallons of oil, and 16-20 cubic ft. of landfill space
- Your business can save money in disposal fees associated with dumpster rental, landfill fees, and hauling
- Looks great on a Clean Marina application or recertification
- Recycling marine film fuels the circular economy of Michigan. Recycled plastics from this program are used by domestic manufacturers, giving your used plastic a new life as new products.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
- Buy your EZ Fill Recycling Run bags from Dr. Shrink. When you buy your recycling bag(s), it is a one-time fee that covers pick-up, haul-away, and processing directly from your business.
- Each bag comes with a zip tie to seal the bag, along with instructions on how to register and remove your boat covers. Bags are industrial size and can hold covers from up to a 32′ boat (1 large cover or 1-3 small covers).
- For Direct Pick-Up of your bags, you must register for a minimum of 15 bags. Locations in the UP must meet a 70 bag minimum.
- Program Coordinators from the Michigan Recycling Coalition will reach out to schedule a pick-up with your business in June-August.
Keep boat covers/bags clean, dry, and condensed! All Registration Forms are due on June 1st, 2023.
