Sunnking invites customers to name its shredder

Brockport, New York-based Sunnking is holding a “Name the Shredder Contest” designed to allow residents and businesses in the state of New York to submit “their best and most creative names” for the company’s electronic scrap shredder.

According to Sunnking, its shredder “destroys” more than 10 million pounds (5,000 tons) of recyclable devices each year.

All names must be submitted by Friday, March 18^. Five finalists will be selected on March 28 after a poll takes place on the Sunnking website. Winners will be announced on Thursday, April 14, 2022.

“We’ve seen people name boats, snowplows [and] zoo animals, so why not give them a chance to enjoy naming the machine that recycles their unused devices?” asks Robert Burns, Sunnking’s marketing director. “The Name the Shredder Contest is a fun way to connect with our community and promote the impact of responsibly recycling their electronics and the data security process behind it.”

Winners will have their shredder name featured on Sunnking’s website and live streaming shredder feed. Since its launch in mid-August last year, Sunnking says its Live Shredder Camera feed has been viewed for more than 500 hours by people “all over the world.”

The contest winner will also receive a Sunnking “swag bag” and his or her choice of either four tickets to the Six Flags Darien Lake amusement park in Corfu, New York, or four tickets to a Rochester Americans hockey game and four tickets to a Rochester Knighthawks lacrosse game of their choice.

Participants have until March 18, also designated as Global Recycling Day, to submit their potentially winning shredder name using a form that can be found on this web page.
