There comes a time when you start adulting that you look up paper shredding. This is not just for businesses in the late night with black trash bags. A good pruning of paper can make your home feel so much better. I showed up with 7 bankers boxes or the extra small boxes from Home Depot. I parked right in the driveway right off the one-way street. They are fast and the staff is chill. *** IMPORTANT *** You can not see or be 100% its all shredded, but you can see them shredding. They stand up on a platform well above sight view and feed the machine. To be 100% sure they would have to build out the platform, then they would have to open the side of the shredder so you can see that none of your paper is still in processing before it gets cut up. Sure I would've liked to seen more of a Fargo. type of shredding but it's more like a ground beef press. read more

Green Shredding - storefront: pull in here, note Oneway street - Shredding Services Near Me - San Diego, California

They are the fastest, easiest, and nicest shredding business ever! I routinely bring bags of papers from home to shred.

Quick and efficient he even stayed open for me a few minutes while I was getting my tire fixed across the street. Thanks again!

Instead of spending HOURS shredding my sensitive papers one at a time, I take them to GREEN SHREDDING. Fast, friendly, efficient. Cheap. Great service. Been their customer for years with my one-banker's-box-at-a-time approach to decluttering my office! read more

This business was everything it says it is! Spoke with Chris the owner before I went and asked a few questions. He was polite and professional. They shed your papers right in front of you which was important to me. Easy access and the man working was Great!!! I will recommend them always!! read more

To research a viable shedding solution, I created a spreadsheet and ended with 6 local (San Diego) choices and their pertinent details. From the onset, Chris was responsive to my calls, subsequent emails and further inquiries! While he maintained a level of professionalism, I was IMPRESSED that he talked with me as a PERSON vs merely as a revenue stream, as opposed to one of his competitors on my spreadsheet! I felt simultaneously pleased and relieved that the shredding truck would meet me at the storage unit as opposed to me dealing wih the logisitcal hassle of ensuring I had a large enough vehical to accommodate 77 banker's boxes and/or Xerox paper size boxes, transferring them from the storage unit into the vehicle and then driving to the shredding location. I also felt a sense of security during the process because the shredding occurred ON-SITE, at the storage unit, via their efficient mobile shredding truck! Dave - Chris' associate - was pleasant and personable as 3 of us - I bought a friend - uncoverd / opened boxes and immediately determined which contents were to be shredded based on a previously determined criteria I discussed with them. The entire process of going through approx. 90 boxes and shredding 77 of their contents took us approx. 1 EFFICIENT AND STREAMLINED hour! Lastly, the value for this INVALUABLE service that Green Shredding provided was EXTREMELY HIGH in contrast to the five other competitors' quotes, one of which was ENTIRELY ABSURD. Emphatically, I would recommend Chris' Green Shredding (with Dave) to EVERYONE who requires this type of service!!! read more

Easiest way to do mega-shredding! Have used them both in my business and personal life. $5 per banker's box. Pull in and they'll take the boxes out of your car. You can watch them shred or just leave if it's not highly important. They open late so make sure you review hours before you go. Highly recommend! read more

Easy and simple. When you're moving and find old tax documents and other forms with personal information.. come here! I chose this place because they shred the documents in front of you. I tried other places that do not do this and it is a scary thought trusting a stranger with personal documents. So I did my research and found green shredding! Street parking. No line. I paid cash. One box was $5. Friendly. I would have taken a photo but I was in and out so quick! read more

Chris, the owner answers the phone and is friendly, helpful and down right awesome! He gave us a lot of info re: shredding and their scheduled. We so appreciate someone who answers the phone, is helpful and cares about concerns for privacy. Thanks, CHRIS! read more

The sign does not lie: $5.00/BOX I thought for sure they were going to take one look at my modestly sized box, agree to the $5.00, but then charge me double upon picking it up - so heavy! To my surprise the guy we'll affectionately call, "Master Shredder" grabbed it, looked at me and said, "five bucks." Sold to the man in the stupid hat! I wear a stupid hat... sold to me... get it? make sense? I digress. So, what's in the box, Brad B? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cmqwbZa6_w The answer is: three years of credit card receipts, unopened electric bills, a magazine or five, a few pads of old scratch paper, the recipe to Coca-Cola, Amazing Spiderman #1, the Gutenberg Bible, a Honus Wagner baseball card, some handwritten Beatles lyrics and a William Shakespeare autograph. In other words, lots of useless scrap paper. Bring on the shredder! I was captivated. Master Shredder climbed up to his podium, tipped the box on its side and methodically swiped armfuls of paper into the hungry mouth of the machine. With every bite it would rumble and discharge unrecognizable shredded ropes of paper out the other end into the dumpster. Five minutes later, the deed was done and all that was left was an empty cardboard box. "F#ck it, shred that too," and he did! I cannot wait for my next visit to the shredder! Best five bucks that I've spent in ages. Sorry Subway, that footlong was whack. read more

I came here late last year November or December 2020. It was my first time. Saw a Hispanic male by himself. I confirmed the size of the tote with him if it was $5, he said yes. Half a year later, I saw the same guy there except this time there was a Caucasian male there with him(must be the boss?) I had my trunk open, the white guy walked over and was going to carry the tote out for me. I said wait, wait. Can I confirm the price first? And how can we tell if you shred all the documents? He said you can watch. I will explain later what happened before. Well the white guy said it's $15 for that size. I said I was here last time and he charged me $5. He then drop it down to $10. I still wasn't satisfied. I took off and left to the other location. The reason why I asked how can we tell if all the documents were shredded. Well a few months later my daughter became a victim of identity theft. Not sure if it's related to the business. Not blaming them. The customer get to stand there and witness the shredding. But the only concern is we don't know what's left behind up there, where he climb up the machine. A costumer cannot tell what's left behind. read more

Fast, friendly and affordable. They do both small and large orders. Super fast process. I like that they are open Saturdays.

If you need shredding done both quickly and reasonably, this is the place to go! Very conveniently located on and off the 94 too. They will help remove your shredding from your vehicle, & then you can watch your items get shredded in front of you, especially important if security is a concern. Couldn't be more pleased with their services, and will continue to use them in the future. read more

I had a huge bag i could barely lift out of my car. .. $5 they charged me, awesome! !! read more

I've been doing the drop off service every couple months for a couple years now and have always had great results.

Gotta box of shredding? They take care of it for $5. We pulled off the 94 west, hung a left and another left, dropped off the box and the bucks, and got back on the 94 east. All in all, it took us ten minutes to be free of a years worth of shredding. Such a deal! read more

Great facility! Outstanding customer service! I brought a big bag of documents and watched the technician shred my documents in less than five minutes. Awesome!!! Thank you Green Shredding!!! read more

Awesome concept, cool/friendly/nice staff, extremely affordable, shred on the spot... What more can you ask for!? Be mindful of traffic times, I pull in garage type opening in front and back out... Works like a charm!... Thanks team! read more

Fast, friendly and COVID safe!

I noticed this local "green" spot before jumping on the 94 the other day. Not a large commercial place, but very nice / cool add to the neighborhood. They shred large bulk items (e.g. confidential paper, account information, etc.) then recycle to other companies to make new products. My shredder at home reached its maximum capacity, so "Green Shredding" was just the ticket to same me time and energy. Each bag only costs $5 per load (I had $10 worth), and your receipt can be leveraged as a tax deduction. Items are shred right in front of you, so there is no worry of whether the paper has been destroyed or left behind. Go and support Tinh P., and the crew! It is definitely worth a trip! I saved about 3 - 4 hours of shred time. read more

I was surprised by how affordable it was; don't ever take your stuff to an office supply store again. They shred it in front of you, person working was really nice and got it done in no time. read more

This place is a bit hard to find (just before the on-ramp to the 94), and only one space to park (inside), but true to other reviews you can bring your banker's boxes filled with documents to shred and it's only $5 per box. I also had some 13 gallon kitchen garbage bags filled with more stuff to shred. The attendant didn't weigh them like they mention on their website, but said $5 for each bag too which I think is fair (they were stuffed!) He even shredded the banker's boxes as I didn't need them back. The machine is a little noisy but you do get to witness the shredding for a bit more peace of mind (others charge extra for this). Pro tip - if you need banker's boxes, Costco has a good deal - 10 boxes for $20 - saw these at Costco Business and regular membership warehouse. Easy to assemble and get to shredding! read more

Over the year that I had moved back to San Diego, I had accumulated so much paper i.e. bank/investment statements, credit card offers, stuff with my social security number, etc. I don't want to just throw it in the trash for some weirdo loser to obtain my information...so I wondered...Is there a place to throw your personal documents away?!?! Is there such a place!?!??! Low and behold, I found Green Shredding. Hella random, I was driving downtown looking for parking and there was this truck...well not a truck....an oversized Golf cart with the website address on it. (Mind you this was 3 weeks later after I "wondered") I checked out the website and they did personal shredding and even destroyed computer hard drives. I took 2 bag loads of paper and an old computer collecting dust from my closet and took it their warehouse. They were really cool, really professional, and I like the fact that they do as much as they can to be green eco conscious friendly. I felt that sense of security knowing that my info. was shredded to the pieces never to lay in the hands of evil. I'm pretty sure everyone has papers and or computers that have valuable information. Or even if you just want to recycle paper, Green Shredding is the place to go! An awesome day at SYU!!! (Pom Pom) read more

So glad I found these guys. They were super fast, in and out in less than 10. Super cheap - $5. Super nice. Just super. I only had one legal file box, but I had been hauling it around for a while. Felt good to tick this off my list. read more

$5 a box, They were fast, was able to parkin inside their warehouse and its in downtown San Diego

I had a friend who lives downtown suggest Green Shredding and I'm glad he did. VERY reasonable pricing and the guy there shredded my documents right in front of me...fast and easy. Was such an easy process...saved me TONS of time from doing it myself (not to mention the 14 cases of paperwork I had them shred would have burnt up my home shredder) I will absolutely be telling friends about this place. read more

Great experience today with Green Shredding! I had three boxes to shred, the associate quickly helped me get them out of my car and we had them shredded in no time. $5 per box -easy peasy! Will definitely recommend to others. read more

Quick, reliable and professional service with very reasonable prices! Just tricky backing out but they were very helping guiding me!

It's easy being green! Environmentally-friendly and great prices rolled into one convenient business. I went to Green Shredding for the first time today to take care of a box full papers and three hard drives. I called ahead to ask about the hard drives and was told I could drive right into the place - no hunting for parking! The paper was quickly shredded while I watched. They don't send hard drives through a shredder (the only thing I would improve about this place), but they use a tool that crushes/folds the drive in half. Wanting to be thorough I asked to have a couple of holes drilled in the drive platters and they were happy to do it. Keep the competitive prices and I'll be back! read more

You too can be a SHREDDER at $5 per box. Driving along G street and always seeing their sign as I entered the freeway reminded me that I needed get rid of business docs... years and years of dusty old business docs that the government says you have to keep. If you ask me, that's just additional punishment on top of the taxes, permits, fees... to exist as a business. Here's how it works for $5 / box. 1. Park inside their warehouse or on the street. 2. Haul your heavy paper/docs inside. 3. They weigh it. 4. They shred it before your very eyes. 5. You pay $5 6. You take turns blowing kisses at each other because they are happy to have your money, and you are happy because you are many pounds lighter. Now, I have subscribed to their quarterly shredding service so that losing paper weight is effortless and they come to my office. I look and feel better ;) Good? Great. Go there! read more

Purged my file cabinets and file boxes full of financial documents dating 20+yrs. Heard about Green Shredding from a coworker.

Top notch customer service, 5 stars all around. read more
