Shout out and a very special "Thank YOU" to Steve and the shred driver! I am always trying to catch…read morea "Shred day" event in Phoenix surrounding areas in which, there was one being held that I absolutely had to make a visit to. After rushing from picking up breakfast to make it to this event, I ended up being 5 min late but, I ran into the Shred truck driver who was just literally pulling off. The driver was nice enough to stop and accept my bulk. Steve happened to hear me asking the driver if I were too late (in which, the driver seen my tinny bags to Shred, on my back seat, and the driver was nice enough to tell me that he'd pull over to accept them since, I didn't have much). Steve came out to assist with getting my 1 1/2 bag of items shredded for me. I explained to Steve that I was thankful as I had been trying to catch these shredathons and that (although, I'm straight...respectfully) I rushed over after picking up my breakfast in support of Pride Month from an awesome restaurant (I didn't even mention yelp) but, Steve "IMMEDIATELY" asked me, if I by chance, happened to be an "ELITE" (which, surprised me that he'd ask and that he knew about us ELITE yelpers). I was flabbergasted! As we were pouring my recycling into the bin, Steve and I were chatting it up and he then, proceeded to tell me that they LOVED ELITE YELPERS!!! I was absolutely amazed by this acceptance of us, in which, he spoke highly. I recommend that, you guys start shredding your old documents instead of tossing into garbage cans, for safety reasons! ‍ They have locations all around Phoenix surrounding areas and they often have shredding drop off events that are free of charge. I just happened to GOOGLE and found this event. Again, shoutout to STEVE AND THE DRIVER who were extremely awesome humans.I offered to tip but they refused/declined. It never hurts to offer a tip guys. ‍ This location was in a office strip complex which GPS took me directly there, but it threw me off as I was expecting an industrial setting. Thankfully, I seen the truck. Thanks again! ‍

The lady that answered the phone was courteous and informative. I told her what I needed and she…read moresaid that it probably would not work out well for me, as they do not allow clients to meet the mobile shredding truck and they do not allow clients to watch the shredding process (due to privacy stuff). I get that. I was just used to how a different company operates. She did say I probably would not want to drive out so far to drop off my shredding either. It's not that she didn't want my business, but figured I probably wouldn't want to drive so far for shredding especially if there are closer companies. So even though I was not able to give A-1 business, I appreciated the woman who answered being honest, BUT professional and courteous to me.

I was looking for a recycling center that accepts soda cans, soda glass bottles and plastic water…read morebottles. This place only accepted my soda cans. They just don't accept plastic or glass bottles here. This place looks like a dump but the customer service is very fast and efficient. Most of the workers here are Spanish speaking so hopefully you can make out what they tell you. My Spanish is Sykes rusty so I only understood 5% of what they said. All in all, this was a pleasant experience. Obviously, you're not gonna get rich by recycling anything but it does give you some pocket change to maybe buy a lottery ticket or two. I don't recall what the exact redemption value was for bringing in your unwanted cans for cash but I got around 50 cents for maybe 1.5 lbs of soda cans. Almost enough for a $1 lottery scratcher. The workers here will unload your trunk for you and weigh it all and than give you the proper amount of money. Fast service and you don't even need to lift a finger besides opening your trunk that is. I'm from Hawaii and back home, you can actually pay a utility bill or cell phone bill with your recycling money. Not here in Phoenix, it's a totally different process here so I'm gonna start trashing all my recyclables instead. Hope this helps my fellow planeteers!!

Christy called me in the afternoon to schedule - they could come in 2 days! Wow! Adrian called on Wednesday morning to let me know what time he would arrive. Adrian (the driver) came (on time!) - he was polite, and worked quickly and efficiently. There were no hidden charges - the bill was exactly as estimated. Christy had asked me when I scheduled if I wanted them to take the empty bankers boxes after shredding for an additional fee. Absolutely! (No shredding company has ever offered me this. They always dumped my files, and left me with the boxes!) This was sure better than smashing empty boxes and trying to fit them in the recycle can. I would highly recommend this company. Smooth process from start to finish. Nice people. And, they had the best price! I will definitely use them again.

I didn't realize Assured and A-1 are probably the same company. When I called the Cutter's number…read moreto get shredding done, I got someone from Assured. I asked about Cutter's and she said they bought Cutter's last year. She said they always had the number I called, so I'm not sure if the Cutter's number forwarded calls to Assured or not, which would make the statement the lady that answered the phone true, but idk. Anyway, she told me it would be about $130, I believe up to 10 banker's boxes. I said I had the equivalent of 4-5 boxes. She said they could shred up to 10 boxes, so anything less they'll take for the $130. I was used to paying $30-60 with Cutter's, depending on how much shredding I had to do, so this price seemed outrageous to me. The lady on the phone seemed to me a bit snarky, but I could have perceived it that way after she told me the price is still $130ish ($129.XX). A part of me wanted to be sarcastic, but I wasn't. There wasn't any need to ever be sarcastic. I thanked her for her information, but it did not seem reasonable for me to pay so much. I ended up getting a much better deal with a Tempe company with incredible service & pricing and pay for what was being shredded instead of some flat price regardless. I've read a number of the reviews and they seem to like Assured, so maybe the woman that answered my call was having a bad day. idk. But I am missing Cutters.

They opened the gate for the drive on scales and this started the adventure, I weighed in and I went and dumped the steel, ran back around and weighed again, now on to weigh the other metals. Now remember this was one minute before closing. The gentleman came over and started weighing all the other metals that I brought, finally done, elapsed time 45 minutes past closing, paid on-site and on my way. Talk about customer service! This company rocks! Remember 1 minute before closing! Thank you!

I am a lead technician for a local hvac and low temp mechanical company…read more I sent one of our apprentices here with accumulated scrap from jobs because it was close in proximity and on a Saturday. They paid only for steel pricing because a small condensing unit and air handler had steel caging on the units. However, there was also some raw copper and motors that this place refused to separate and pay as such. We will not being any business with this company moving forward as this is complete laziness and a rip off. We normally use Deer Valley recycling located on I-17 and Deer Valley rd because they are honest and will weigh everything separately and pay accordingly. Also a lot less junkies with shopping carts etc at Deer Valley. Don't waste your time with revolutionized recycling, they will rip you off and treat you like a crack head.

My HOA also does this, but I find that it's strange that I would want to pay them to take these & they get paid on top of that for them. As prices are constantly changing, you'd have to call for the daily prices-but these are for this week.

If you have steel, drive up on the scale, wait for the light to change, drive around, unload everything, drive back up onto the scale, wait for the light again, then pull all the way back around to the trailer. They'll meet you outside and coordinate payment! If you have brass, copper, etc, pull up to the ramada (right before the vehicle scale) and someone will be there to weigh what you have on a smaller scale. Then go to the trailer, coordinate payment. They are quick, simple, and always give a great value. One or two of the employees might come off a little rough. But they work in the Arizona heat. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!
