Vanguard Archives

I consulted a website for info on shredding services. I was then contacted by 6 different…read morecompanies, received quotes, and took the information to my board members for approval. Mike, of Vanguard Archives, contacted me by phone and explained a few details to me that literally no other company even provided. These guys are bonded, uniformed, and an SSAE 16 audited company. Mike also explained that they have newer trucks that shred not only paper, but hard drives as well. This is the type of company that handles federal paperwork shredding and that was important to us. Long story short, we are an office overseen not only by federal laws, but by the Dept. of Labor as well. It was crucial that we take care of shredding these materials in the most complete and regulated manor possible. No other company of the 6 even mentioned any certifications, type of trucks, or what to expect. They just tossed quotes, most of which that were overpriced compared to previous shredding we have done. I proposed we use Vanguard Archives and set the appointment. We scheduled for 9am. The driver called me at 8:45am to let me know he was going to be there soon and they were perfectly on time. Both techs had no problem following me up to our office through a short maze of underground garages of our large building complex, up the elevator, and to our office. They took all our shredding materials quietly and left no mess making multiple trips to their truck. You see it all shredded and the techs ask multiple times if you are satisfied with the procedure as well as if you have any questions. Impressively professional. They had the final invoice in my email with a certificate of destruction within minutes of leaving. No gimmicks either people, the quote Mike gave me matched the final bill spot on. I called Mike shortly after the techs left. They knocked the job out in less than an hour and I told Mike how great the service was. I absolutely will make sure we only use Vanguard Archives in the future. They told me what they could provide, showed up on time, and followed through on their word with the job at hand. That's just good business.

Great service, on time and friendly drivers. We had on an site shredding job Mike was great to…read morework with.

West Town, Humboldt Park

Here's a polished Yelp-style review based on your voicemail, keeping it natural, detailed, and…read morefive-star appropriate: We were in Chicago cleaning out a long-term storage unit and ended up with more than 200 pounds of documents that needed to be securely shredded. I called around to several shredding services, and Midway Document Destruction was hands down the best option--by far the most service-oriented and the best price. We worked with Glenn, who was absolutely incredible. Not only was he helpful and professional on the phone, but we also happened to be there on Black Friday and received 50% off, which was a huge bonus. The weather was terrible, and we arrived close to closing time, but Glenn still came out, helped us bring all the documents inside, and stayed with us while everything was shredded on the spot. He made what could have been a stressful and exhausting situation so much easier. We were juggling a lot while closing out a storage unit we'd had for years, and his kindness and patience really stood out. Midway is fair, transparent, and significantly cheaper than many of the more "convenient" shredding options. They're located at 2700 W Chicago Ave, and despite the location sounding out of the way, it was actually very easy to get to. We had an excellent experience from start to finish and would absolutely recommend Midway Document Destruction to anyone who needs secure, affordable, and genuinely great service. Five stars without hesitation.

I used them for shredding 70 lbs. of paper. It was done in two minutes. You can shred up to 175…read morelbs. for $75 and watch them do it for your own peace of mind. It's near Midway Airport by Pulaski off ramp and 41st Street just off I-55. The owner Alan was very nice and accommodating for my small shredding job compared to their huge operation of recycling. It was quite the education, an interesting field trip.
