It is so satisfying to gather your no longer necessary papers and watch them get dumped on the conveyor belt, then shredded!

Even though Berkeley Shreds is stuck in a massive road work labyrinth, they are always quick and worth the cost of the shred.

I had a great experience with Shred City from start to finish. Their office staff was incredibly…read moreresponsive, always returning emails quickly and making the scheduling process smooth and easy. On the day of service, the driver was friendly and professional, called 30 minutes before arriving to let me know he was on his way, and everything happened right on time as scheduled. I really appreciated the on-site shredding option--it was reassuring to be able to watch my documents being securely shredded via video in real time. It gave me peace of mind knowing everything was handled safely and transparently. Overall, the entire process was efficient, convenient, and stress-free. I'll definitely be working with them again in the future and highly recommend their services!

I was looking for a shredding service in the Bay Area, going back and forth between two companies…read moreand I finally settled on this one. I had all my questioned answered in a timely manner and they were patient as I was trying to schedule this around my dad's availability (we're on opposite sides of CA). Shred City ultimately had a better rate for what I wanted to get done so it was a no brainer. They sent me an email to confirm the service and were able to schedule us within a few days, which was even better. My dad is closing his business of 50 years and needed to shred the contents of 26 bankers boxes. The service was completed on 2/18. The driver showed up at my dad's store, shred the contents, left the empty boxes and that was it, a super smooth process! Then I was able to call, make the secure payment over the phone and I promptly received a receipt and Certificate of Destruction. It cost $208 to shred 26 bankers boxes which I thought was fair, especially since it was a mobile service where they came to us. We have more boxes to shred at my parent's house so when my dad is ready I will contact Shred City again to handle that service as well! Great job!
