Easy peasy. Needed to shred an abundance of household paperwork and found that this place was close enough to me to check out. Drove to the facility which is in an industrial section --but was easy to find. Parking is right in front of the main building entrance. You check in with staff in the little trailer on the left and they count your load. They give you instructions and direct you to the payment window in the main building. You can pay with credit, debit, cash. Fill out a quick form and pay. The current rate is $5 box of documents/paperwork. Not sure if there are different rates for different types of material ie: hard drives, DVDs, CDs, etc. Once you pay, you are walked back out and you place your items in a locked bin. That's it. It took all of 5 minutes. The staff was very helpful and friendly. After finding this place there is no need to ever be buried in excess paperwork around the house. Will definitely use this service again. read more

Does not accept individual drop-off for shredding as of 7/31/26. Wasted trip. This should be mentioned on web pages.

Great assistance and good price! The lady who attended me was knowledgeable and professional and kind. read more

Outstanding service and most of all, they are very affordable!!! Great customer service, staff are very helpful and friendly

Although it is a distance away i love taking my boxes to them for shredding. Doing it for 3 years, it's safe for all your documents for shredding and the price it good. The employees there treat you with kindness. Also, they inform you what you cannot put in your box to shred this place is great. read more

Ok, so this review goes into the category of my spring cleaning section. I recently cleaned about 10 years worth of outdated and useless paperwork. Needless to say, this was a big job as there was SO MUCH paper that needed to be thrown out. Unfortunately, some of them had sensitive information on it and these needed to be shredded. So began my quest for low-cost shredding services. WOW, I never realized this would be such an expensive proposition. Some places charged $15 per box for on-site shredding. I figured with about 30 bankers boxes, that would leave me in the poor house. With my sharp internet research skillz, I found Safe-Shred in Commerce. They pick up for a fee but I opted to drop them off for free. The catch is that: they accept only 5 boxes a day for FREE. All paper is shredded and customers are sent a FREE certificate of destruction. Although I could have donned 6 different disguises and killed it in a day, I, instead, made 6-7 trips over the course of a couple of months. COST = GAS (MILEAGE) ONLY RESULT = FREE SHREDDING + CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION MOOD = HAPPY BECAUSE NO MORE OLD PAPER + PEACE OF MIND Thank you Safe-Shred!! read more

Safeshred - Shredding Services Near Me - Commerce, California

See all

I love Safeshred! I was online right now and reading some of their bad reviews and quite frankly I don't always buy them. I've never had an issue with them. They have been nothing but exceptional to our office and all our clients. I feel so comfortable dealing with them. They're so approachable, so affordable, and very admirable . I always feel that my stuff, my clients personal and private data is safe with them and is gone forever. I've never gotten bad service ( even when I paid the bill late a few times #heyyy). Elaine & Margarita thank you for always helping me out. You never ever fail me. I may not have a million dollar account with you guys...but please know you sure as heck make me feel like if we do. God bless you ladies always. read more

Helpful staff. Easy to turn over your documents and paper to shred. Pricing is excellent. Destruction of documents is secure and trustworthy. read more

TERRIBLE customer service. I wouldn't recommend them to shred confetti. First, I call them for information and a quote, telling them that I'm driving from far away; yet no one bothered telling me that they close earlier (3:30pm) than their website lists (4:30). No one also bothered telling me that they only accept cash, for individual shreddings. Experienced a complete lack of empathy on their part, total waste of time on my part. Lastly, there's two parking lots, side by side. Had to figure out that the left lot was for walk-ins (no signage, and I was ignored by the employees walking around in the parking lot). Keep that in mind if you go-- which I recommend that you don't. Spend your cash elsewhere. I've generally stuck to posting positive reviews here, but this company deserves to be put on blast: what a horrid way of handling someone who just wants to BRING THEM MONEY! read more

Not the most secure shredding place I've ever been to. Dropped off a couple boxes worth of stuff, was charged $3/box. Then they unlocked a padlocked dumpster, put my papers in and that was it. Seems like anyone could open the dumpster and get at your documents if they really wanted to. I also noticed some large stacks of shredded paper tied in bundles, the strips were pretty large and intact. Probably wouldn't use this service again. read more

Great service and great customer service. It's my go to place when I have paperwork that needs shredded. Fast and easy and safe

Called them and left a clear message and repeated my number several times. No response. It's been more than 30 days

The absolute best place to get your documents, CDs, DVDs, Notebooks, Check Stubs, Old Yearbooks you are afraid to look at Shredded! Courteous, Secure and always helpful if you've packed your boxes and bag to overflowing. All this at an inexpensive price. They have van pick up service if you cannot make it to their Malt Ave Store! and every first Friday bring a box for free shredding...$3 per box after that...a true STEAL! I won't go anywhere else! Thank you Safe Shred! read more

A business that has been a lifesaver for me! and they have FRIDAY FREEBIE!! I came across Safeshred at a time of crisis almost a year ago. I was informed by a medical facility I had attended for Dialysis Treatments for about a year in Nov 2013 that due to a "Data Breach" my medical, financial information ( including my social security number and banking info) had been compromised due to the negligence of an employee, along with 325 other patients. I have been in the business of Healthcare for over 25 yrs and know the importance of properly securing patient's health information and patients Personal Information (PHI, PPI). I implemented a program across the Health System, and trained my 200+ staff on proper handling of PHI and PPI information. At home I did the same with my personal shredder and my own data. Little did I know that despite all precautions, I would become a victim of Identity Theft. It was not until June on 2014, when I received a letter from the IRS inquiring about the 1040EZ (which I have never been able to file), that it was determined my SS# had been used to commit a federal crime. Now after hundreds of hours, Thousands of Dollars, A 200 POINT DROP IN MY CREDIT SCORE!! did I realize that the "1 yr free Credit Monitoring" I received due to the Data Breach was nothing even close to what I would need to gather all the information, police reports, file affidavits etc... to fight the thousands of Collection Calls, numerous medical bills from NY to OK from collection agencies and medical services I never received. Fortunately the State of California have been progressive in legislation to assist and protect Victims if ID Theft, but the Education and Resources that help assist the victim in recovering from this invasive crime is still lacking. However, Safeshred is doing an incredible community service by educating the public about protecting your confidential information. They also back up the talk with the walk by holding Free drop-off Friday's once a month, where the public can drop off up to 3 small boxes of paperwork to be disposed of for free AND you get a Certification insuring that your data had been disposed of properly!! YOU CANNOT BET THAT, as for the cost for additional items to be disposed of, they are very reasonable, but you cannot put a price on the PEACE OF MIND you have when you know that you are doing your part to help protect yourself and your family from the nightmare of being the victim of ID Theft and mental, physical and psychological toll you pay when you reaching for guidance or a lifeline to be rescued and recover from this crime. Safeshred was there when I needed guidance and because I am now hypersensitive to insuring nothing of a personal nature goes out with the trash. Safeshred gives me a sense of security that I will not be the cause of this crime happening to my family ever again! THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DO!!, now I am off to drop off my boxes of paperwork for this month!! read more

Just dropped off a large bag of bills, files, etc. and a printer that no longer works. They measure by the "box" which since I had a bag I still don't know exactly what that means (large? medium? Etc). But a box is $3 and every electronic is $5. It's a great deal to safely shred your important documents. read more

I went to six different places !!! don't waste your time this is definitely the place to go

I wanted to shred several large bags of old financial records, etc. Did a quick search and this place was recommended. Except for some hiccups in scheduling initially, I was treated with excellent customer service, scheduling. The people showed up on time, did a very fast efficient job. I could not be happier. read more

The shredding service is fine, I don't have a problem with that. However when I called with questions about my service, I spoke with Elaine. Instead of answering my questions in a professional manner, she was very snappy and hung up on me in the middle of another question. It was one of the RUDEST experiences I can recall. The other staff members are very kind so I did not expect this treatment. All I can say is that I'm sorry that I could not rate them higher because of this. read more

Extremely happy with their service. $3 / box. Went into the office paid the fee, a person with a forklift and container with a lock on it came out to the parking lot. Loaded the boxes out of my car into the container. Finished. Very fast, easy and convenient. read more

I have been using Safe Shred for my Document Imaging Company for over 10 years. I recommend them to anyone who asks and those who don't. I have referred countless clients to them. Elaine has been working with our company for years. Very helpful and accommodating. read more

The team at SafeShred was wonderful. Specifically, team member Rene provided excellent customer service. Would use them again and recommend them. read more

I've been going here for several years now. They are my trusted GOTO for shredding and secure destruction of documents and vital information. I need to ensure safe destruction of files and documents in my line of work and these guys make that an easy and efficient possibility. It's in an industrial area with many huge trucks and factories so be prepared for much hustle and bustle. Most importantly dropping off your material takes only a few minutes. They make it very easy to drop off. Thanks so much Safeshred!!! read more

I understand that you are a big company and been around for long time but your prices are above market Plenty of companies offer prices in the low $3 range and some even will do under $3 for volume discount. I guess you got too big and greedy for your own good. Would not recommend using this company as their prices are above market. read more

We had accumulated five boxes of tax and financial records. Read the reviews on SafeShred. Looked at traffic on Google Maps. Decided the City of Commerce would not be a bad drive. And it wasn't. This is a very large paper recycling business that also shreds documents. Despite the size of the operation and the smallness of our request, they welcomed us warmly and a lovely lady in spike heels even helped unload our boxes. They no longer do up to five boxes for free, but $3 per box is a real bargain. And they provide a certificate of destruction. Highly recommended. read more

First time here and I'll be back to release the paper clutter. So worth it! The staff is super helpful.

This place and the people who work here are really great. They are easy going professionals that make doing business with them a pleasure. If you want to actually watch something being shredded they can arrange that but you must make an appointment which is no big deal. Their prices are very reasonable and I feel very safe about the shredding they do. If you need to shred in a high or low volume they can do the job for you. I am very happy that I found these guys a couple years ago, they have been consistent from the first day and continue to be. Thank you Safeshred you people do a fine job. read more
