These guys were amazing from beginning to end.. answered my call promptly, sent out the truck at the time for my request, and Mike who came to help was just super. We had 30 full file boxes and he did them all in no time!!! And their price was very fair. We will definitely use them again and I highly recommend this company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with this shredding company. They came right to our storage unit to shred a large number of boxes, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The gentleman who came out was amazing. He arrived right on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and was genuinely friendly and easy to talk to. He was also very conscientious and careful with his truck and equipment, which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for making what could have been a big, stressful job so easy. We would absolutely use your services again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for reliable, professional shredding!
