My go to for shredding services. The staff is efficient and kind, and the location is convenient. Highly recommend!

I have been using this company now for over five years. I have always gotten professional and efficient service. Most of the time I bring in small . Four larger jobs they provide a bin that I was able to fill up and they will pick up. Happy to send anybody there read more

Fast easy affordable. Everyone on the app recommended this and saved us from shredding for hours.

Where do I start. For one I called them numerous times and left voicemails only for him to never call back. When I finally got ahold of him, we scheduled a delivery date and I even sent him all my information. The delivery date came and passed and I never heard from him (continued to not pick up or call back) so I called on a different number and when he picked up I asked him what was going on and he interrupted and said "I have another call, let me call you back in a minute tops, I promise" I said no problem. AGAIN never called back or returned my calls. Absolute joke. Please do not waste your time read more

I haven't been there in 4 years but at that time it was 20lbs of shredding for 20$..the best part is you can watch your items get shredded..They are in area of LAX airport. Call for hours and at the time we went no appt needed read more

The gentleman who was working went above and beyond to help me out. He was incredibly friendly, and the prices are very reasonable.

Great price. Easy and quick drop off. Pleasant interaction. Just be sure to check hours before you go, they are limited.

I really don't write reviews (don't we all!), but A1 Shredding did a phenomenal job at the shredding job my office needed to take care of. Not only were their prices incredibly reasonable, but their team was very helpful and kind throughout the whole process. They came by our office and quickly removed the boxes, and were very friendly. There ended up being a pricing miscommunication and their team worked quickly to accommodate the error, which I was very thankful for. Should my office need additional shredding needs, I will definitely be reaching out to A1. read more

I've used A1Shredding a couple times and my son has used them as well. They are professional, responsive, and easy to do business with. I'm sure I'll be using them again in the future. read more

Excellent service. My shredding job was done quickly -- and I could view the papers being shredded (a big plus!). Cost was very reasonable, too. 100% recommend this business. read more

First off, these hours are WRONG. As of Nov 2023, they're only open... *** Tuesday and Thursday from 9AM to 2PM. *** Once I figured that out, though, it was quick and painless. Absolutely a joy. They just need to update their hours here and on Google. Save everyone a first, wasted trip. :\ read more

I called A1Shredding 9:47 a.m. and received no answer. I called back at 9:56 a.m. and they answered the phone. I asked if they were open until 2:00 p.m., which they confirmed. At 1:27 p.m., I arrived at A1Shredding with the back of my SUV filled with my shredding. I was told by the worker that the "machine" was turned off because it was full, and by the time he empties it and got it turned back on, it would be 2:00 p.m., and they would be closed. He did not even pretend to feel bad about wasting my time. Frustrated, I left and called a different shredding company nearby. They welcomed me to drive right over and they took care of me like a good business should. Don't bother with A1Shredding. read more

This place always says it's open and you go there and they are not. No reliable schedule.. so frustrating... this is the 3rd time I have tried. Just update the website so people don't waste their time read more

Short Review: Want a fast, inexpensive, secure way to get rid of your old files? Go here! $5 per box and you get to watch. In and out quickly. Long Review: No frills. No hassles. Back your car up, remove your stuff, he gives you a price right there. I brought 4 large trash bags of old files in for shredding and he charged me the same price as a box for each. He immediately took them back for shredding, and I was able to watch the whole thing on a closed-circuit TV. Note, files aren't cross-shredded, just old fashioned single stripped. Once, he's done, he takes your cash, credit card, or Apple Pay, and your out of there. 4 stars for fast, efficient service, 1 star for enhanced payment options. read more

Great, local, and worth the price. Always welcoming and friendly. 4 stars...the hours/days of operation.

As good as the reviews say it is. There's not much to tell. I had 5 paper grocery bags filled with years of household paperwork. I pulled up and brought the bags to the front door. The man working only charged me $24 (he said it's $12 per banker box) and I was on my way. I was there for less than five minutes and I got rid of all that stuff. I would definitely recommend them and I will definitely be back. read more

I have been coming here for years. They used to let us see how they shredded our full boxes of personal info paperwork in the TV monitor that was mounted on the wall and we could see them shredding it from far away. Now, they have blocked the view with plastic containers. No more TV monitor to watch them shredding all those papers. Their excuse "we have put those Plastic containers because of COVID" Wait a minute! You guys are not even busy! Why do you block the view from the shredder? What does plastic containers has to do with COVID? There's more than 6 feet distance from the entrance to the shredder machine! Why you guys doesn't have that Tv monitor where we used to watch you shredding our personal info? All of this looks very shady for some reason. This is a red flag for me. I am really sorry guys but I do not feel safe coming to do business with you anymore. read more

These folks are amazing! Not only are they super friendly, welcoming and operating with safety protocols but they do great work, fast and efficient and you cannot beat their pricing!! I only wish I had more business to throw their way, as it is pure pleasure working with them! read more

I've been coming here for a few few years are used to be $10 a box and last time I went it was $12 a bankers box. Last year I came and they didn't update their hours so it was closed even though they said they were open. And they changed some of their policies around watching the items getting shred and when I asked about it the response was very combative instead of being very neutral and sharing their new structure. read more

Look no further, this is the place for shredding! Easy drop off (they lifted the boxes from my car). HALF the cost of other shredding facilities. Highly recommend! read more

I did research on different places to bring 20 boxes or whether to have the mobile company come to my home. It seemed cheaper to bring them to the place. So I loaded up and drove over to Burbank (not the closest place for me). The young woman who helped me was absolutely great. Smiling. Helpful. And helped bring the boxes in. But at payment time it come out to be $200! Other places had much more reasonable prices. Ex. SO-CAL SHRED- $95 for 15 boxes, then $3 for additional [SHRED HERE AT THE HOUSE] ***will also match any lower quote + 10% OFF =========== SHRED SOURCE - $99 up to 20 boxes [SHRED HERE AT THE HOUSE] OR drive them to Sun Valley in late afternoon w/ appointment, drop off. $45 up to 10, then $2 per box I could have stayed home and had a better deal. Now I know and you do too. Not the best price in town. read more

5 stars all around I'd been putting off taking my shredding to a service for almost forever (it kept piling up in my garage). Finally today I bit the bullet and did it. What a great experience. Friendly, accommodating, super efficient... and a good deal to boot. I'll definitely become a repeat customer (though I'm telling myself I need to stop paper statements from coming wherever possible)! Thanks A1 Shredding for a super experience. read more

New Year's Resolutions: 1. Lose 10 pounds (not a chance) 2. Catch up on all medical appointments (just has to happen!) 3. Shred old documents that are taking up unnecessary space in my house #3 was by far the easiest to accomplish. Found this place on Yelp and was drawn to the idea of a quick and easy way of getting rid of old documents safely. Drove up, parked the car, unloaded two huge garbage bags of stuff. The nice gentleman quoted me 10 dollars per bag. I paid cash. He then proceeded to load everything on a conveyer belt while I watched my stuff being shredded on a TV monitor. It took about 8 minutes and that was only because the gentleman had to answer a phone call from his boss. I can't describe the sense of relief upon seeing all my stuff being shredded. On the way home I felt like I lost 10 pounds without even trying. Took care of two resolutions at once, yeah! Nice service, very affordable, and a great way to take off some weight without going to the gym. read more

A1Shredding - You're able to watch the shredding action live! - Shredding Services Near Me - Burbank, California

As always, I prefer to deal with local businesses. A1Shredding has great pricing, easy access, and a very nice owner. I had a pretty big box of sensitive documents, but was in and out in about 10 minutes. I watched the owner shredding my papers near the back of the business, which was comforting to know it was being done on the spot. The pricing is better than any other shredding services that I contacted. Their hours of operation are limited, but not a problem from my perspective. Hopefullly their business gets back to pre-Covid levels and they are able to justify being open more hours each week. Support this local business! read more

Uproarious applause please! A1 shredding is AWESOME! They have changed my life, seriously. No matter what we do for a living, we ALL generate a lot of paper, info, data, discs, plastic, or whatever else. When it happens, and you need to get rid of it SAFELY, what do you do? Do you break 4 shredders at home like I did? Do you throw it in the recycle bin and hope for the best, praying that some evil little identity thief isn't on the prowl for your stuff? OR do you get your raggedy ass over to Burbank, and cast all your cares (and paper, plastic & digital junk) on to A1 SHREDDING and let them destroy your sensitive info quick and safe while you watch? I know what you're thinking... "Ain't nobody got time for that! I can't get all these papers, discs, old files, and other crap down to Burbank! I have a baby, a business to run, a plane to catch, a... whatever else!" Shut up weak sauce... A1 also has a shredding truck that Will come to you and do it up right, so nobody can jack you or hack you for your info. Get your life together. Shred your old stuff like a champ. A1 is the spot. read more

This place is very efficient. You can watch your all your private papers just shred away into the ether! Bye bye phone records, porn receipts, and hotel records!!!! ;) Oh and Bill was fast and to the point. 20 pounds shredded in about 5 min! read more

A1Shredding - A1 great place! - Shredding Services Near Me - Burbank, California

I am very careful with my documentations. I searched a local shred company and loved these reviews. I came early on a Wednesday before noon ( I assumed it's a non peak day / non peak hours ? ) No other customers were there. Only one worker was there and I told him I had 3 standard size boxes for shredding. He asked if I wanted to just drop it off or wait to watch it shred. I asked to stay & watch. He said he just turned off the machines and have to clean them. I would have to wait 15-30 minutes?!?! I was in shock. But what was I supposed to do? So I waited in my car. He put the yellow chain up suggesting he was closed / cleaning. I waited & he wasn't even kind that I waited. I filled the highlighted paperwork. Signed my name, occupation was highlighted(?), paid $10 per box Am I happy I could finally shred my documents - yes. Customer service / experience - poor. read more

So I'm in the middle of moving back to Europe after 16 years LA. Of course a lot of paper has accumulated. Then you have this little paranoia that any mail written with your name on it and you just toss it in the trash bin, you will be a victim of Identity Theft. So again, there was a lot of paper, 7 boxes to be exact. They were those office boxes and those small Home depot boxes. So I was quoted $10 for each box, total of $70. Which I found to be absolutely reasonable and cheap for the fact of not having to deal with it any further. I failed to ask the gentleman's name, who helped me today. But the business card says Vilson. So, I hope I will be giving thanks to the right person. I was there at 10a on the dot and the gentleman helped me right away and got a trolly to get all the boxes out of my car. I was able to see how my stuff got shredded to bits and pieces over a tv screen. After everything wa shredded, the gentleman only charged me $60 since 2 boxes werent full. I just loved the honesty and the service it self thats why they deserve 5 stars. I was out of there within 20 min Thank you soo much again. read more

Great service. Nice ppl. Couldnt ask for more. Highly recommend!! Great prices...plenty of parking read more

Easy peasy! I pulled, handed off my gross water damaged files and boxes and the owner (I believe) cheerfully took them from me while respecting social distancing. I paid and left, done in about 5 minutes. read more

These folks never fail! Pull up with your items to be destroyed, they promptly start shredding while you watch on their big screen. And thats not all! They are super nice! Maybe too nice, because I didn't want to leave. Wholesome is how I would describe it, very unlike the climate in LA and 100% the type of business that I would stick with for the long haul. I'd say thats pretty special. read more

I have used A1 Shredding on several occasions pre-pandemic and now today. I was greeted courteously and aided in getting my documents to be shredded. I could see the shredding take place. I wholeheartedly recommend A1. read more

I have had nothing but great experiences using A1 Shredding. Bill the manager is very helpful and informative. They were able to shred both my paperwork and data disks/CD's without a problem. I will use and recommend them to anyone needing shredding services. read more

MIND that they are located BEHIND an auto mechanic's shop, it gets quite confusing! Now I know why many people give this business five stars! Quick and efficient! Bring your shredding, he'll give you the price, ask you not to cross the line for safety as he lets you watch while the documents you brought in are being shredded. read more

A1Shredding - Entrance to A1 Shredding. Just drive your car in. - Shredding Services Near Me - Burbank, California

Quick... Easy... extremely reasonable price-wise. Went in with two garbage bags filled with old papers. 10 Minutes & $20 later... bye bye papers. A little hard to find so keep a sharp eye out. read more

Seems untrustworthy. (I believe they are under new ownership.) After reading the good reviews and getting a referral from a friend to A1, I was very disappointed with the quality of service and don't think I will go back. The roll down metal door was so low I had to duck down to see in, and the shredding area was almost out of view. There were large "crates" wrapped in plastic that left a very obstructed and narrow view to the back of the shop where the shredder was located. These crates were placed in a weird way that made me think they were purposely trying to obstruct the view. There was no monitor, (that I could see), to watch him shred my documents. Then when he was using the shredder he placed the box of papers in a spot that completely blocked me from seeing him placing my paperwork into the shredder. You would think that if you're shredding peoples sensitive documents you would try to make them feel completely comfortable and have everything completely visible. It was all very strange. You can see what I've mentioned in my attached pictures. Both are the same shots but one is zoomed in. read more

Terrible place. I asked them about how they charge. They said $10 per box and asked me to proceed to fill up 10 of their little boxes. Once I finished the employee got irritated and said you know what I don't want to do your shredding take your stuff and go somewhere else. After contacting the one 800 number, I proceeded to loading the boxes back to my car to go somewhere else. Employee comes out with a Taser gun threatening me that if I don't leave right now I will be tased: one-of-a-kind experience.. employers got real issues. read more

I've seen some negative comments which are baffling. The service was precisely what it needed to be, and done in a friendly manner. I had a couple of large boxes to shred, brought them in, was greeted and told how much it would cost. The employee took the boxes, began shredding them, and allowed me to watch the entire process. A great alternative to the other shredding services around, with much better prices and quality service. read more

so I went there once with 3 large bags of shredding and they were very polite. I just went there again with one small bag of shredding and they didnt even charge me. That is an A1 company. Its the little gifts during these trying times that remind me there are good people in the world. Thxs A1 for that gift small gift but a gift nonetheless for reminding me our humanity still exists read more

Unbelievable! A1Shredding was the find of the year! So easy...I pulled up, was offered their dolly, brought my bags of years of paperwork...and that was it. It was also so affordable...I'm still feeling guilty that I was undercharged. If you have a need for a shredding service...A1Shredding is the absolute best choice. read more
