The quick service to shred multiple boxes (4) of paper was convenient and secure. They even have a dolly for your boxes to bring into the facility. It's currently $20/ box which is also convenient because it's close to home. read more

Super easy and convenient place to complete your shredding. I love that they do it right in front of you as well. They're also fairly priced for the service. Just keep in mind the parking lot is tiny, so if you have a lot to bring in, you might need to wait for a spot. Otherwise, you can park on the street and walk too. read more

Great experience bringing our hard drives. We don't own a drill, because we live in an apartment. So this was the best option. It was pricy, but kind of cool to watch them destroy this device. Located next door is a yummy Argentinian bakery. Get a treat after your chores. read more

This is the best deal around, in my opinion. They charge $20 per cubic feet instead of by weight. So, a box 18" x 18" x 18" runs about $68. Plus, they're super fast and helpful. read more

Quick and easy service - very friendly Staff- price is reasonable - been there a few times now and will go back

Perfect for what I was looking for. Six full boxes to shred and they do it right in front of you. Easy read more

Quick and priced reasonable. They shred right in front of you so you can be sure it'll be done right.

This is a surprisingly useful service! I cleared out a few boxes of old docs and needed to ensure they were shredded. Shred Center is in an easy-to-get-to storefront on El Camino with lots of parking right at the door. It's basically two young guys in an empty room with an industrial shredder. For $9 I had twenty years of old tax returns and other docs shredded in under a minute. Super easy and useful! read more

Let me just say this... and be extra. This is the place to come to let go of all that stuff paper and hard drives etc...) that just holds your soul down! The stuff you don't think about... because it's in a box and out of sight. That stuff... that when you've finally decide to go through it and decide what keep and let go... that stuff. Bring it here and watch it go bye-bye! Watch your world get a rush of fresh air and a burst of sunshine...because you finally gave up the physical manifestations of all the negativity and not so great moments in your life...or that same old story of your high school tennis matches...that you've saved either via paper or on some hard drive. Let it go... it's the best damn money you will ever spend!!! read more

After my dad passed we'd had most of the documents cleared out by the awesome hazmat guys - except for a few boxes of stuff that looked important and like I should go through it at some point. Enter in some point. After going through all of them and now having basically a huge tub of documents I really ought to have shredded I searched on Yelp for a well rated shred company. Hello Shred Center. While they currently have construction going on and if you haven't visited before it's very hard to navigate how to get inside, once inside they quickly tallied the size of my tub and charged me for the shred - $30, which I personally thought was very reasonable. The visit took probably 5 minutes and they stopped processing the bankers boxes they had been shredding so they could shred our documents in front of us. The associates were polite, kind, and overall our experience was wonderful. I will definitely visit this location for shredding again! read more

Imagine having a box filled with paper, your personal shredder poops out, the new one does too, or you have too much dang paper to get rid of, where do you go? Well let me tell you, you go to this place! I have been coming here now for years since it first opened! And everyone working here including the owner are great people, welcoming and kind. At first when I heard the name I was like ah what? As long as I am not shredded too" Although from the looks of my body now, I think I need to lose a few pounds and get shredded-Lol, of course, we are talking paper. Being in the south peninsula, this really is my best bet. Going into the S Bay and San Jose is way too far. This is just like 17 miles up the road and "done". They are reasonable in price, and they shred while you are there in front of them. So I cannot say enough about this place. Get shredded with the Shred Center! read more

Great service. I brought in a couple of garbage bags of old financial records that had bank account numbers and social security numbers. I didn't want to take someplace where they just collect stuff and send it out once a week. They shredded my documents while I was there and only charged we $10. read more

I can't begin to tell you what a great business Shred Center is. Let me try to count the ways... The two guys there, Carlo & Domenic are super helpful in every way. Their pricing is better than any other shred service around, especially UPS. They even help you carry your load into the store. They are very professional & have such a great attitude, the like of which I've yet to find in other business's. Whatever your shredding needs are, Shred Center in San Mateo is the place to get it done. Bravo to these two young men!!!! Robert read more

They are nice people and very helpful. It's easy to park and it takes no time at all to take care of the shredding.

Friendly, helpful, and efficient service! I had been putting off disposing my boxes and bins of old documents for years. I try to shred my sensitive docs on my own personal machine now, but couldn't make a dent on the boxes that had grown in my storage area and closets (a total of packed 14 bankers boxes!). Now that I will be selling my home, I had to end my procrastination, especially since I am definitely not going to pack up and bring them to my next home. I found the Shred Center on Yelp, called ahead (no appointment necessary at the time), and voila: All 14 boxes of old docs were shredded before my eyes during my visit! TIP: If you have multiple boxes as I did, grab one of their dollies near the entrance, load your boxes onto the dolly, and wheel the loaded dolly into the front area guided by one of their staff, and they will take care of the rest. Proceed to the check-out area and pay by the size of your container and/or fill line. Note: You can bring your docs in plastic bins, but you will not be allowed to leave them (only cardboard boxes may be left, and will be recycled). read more

Recently we sold our family home which we had owned for more than 40 years. Downsizing and de-cluttering has become of paramount importance. The Shred center has made this process significantly easier. It is conveniently located and a very stream-lined and efficient process. The staff is very cordial and up beat and it is incredibly affordable. As another review said, there is something compelling of watching the machine chew everything up before your eyes. My family and I highly recommend this wonderful business. Please check for business hours as they have reduced their schedule due to the SIP. read more

Fast, easy and very affordable. I wish I hadn't procrastinated in getting this done! I was in and out with a box and a half in less than 5 minutes for less than $20 read more

I walked into the Shred Center with three grocery pages of paper to be shredded. I was in aardvark out in less than five minutes. The price was only $15.00.
