I have been trying to systematically shred documents, invoices, medical files, and old hard disc drives for years, and finally acknowledged that the task required more time and better equipment than I had.

My Google search led me to Time Shred Services. I liked their reviews and called to find out about the service they provide.

Just call the day before to get an ETA window frame. The crew is very professional. The container is loaded into the truck and you can watch as everything gets shredded. Definitely a great service, a great time saver, and very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Easy to use, good service. I contacted another company first before contacting Time Shred. The other company told me I had to sign a contract and it would be 2+ weeks to schedule an appointment.

I looked up their reviews online and was shocked at how bad they were. I searched for another shredding company, and two people recommended Time Shred to me.

Very glad we used them instead. They were easy to reach, did not require signing any contract, and we were able to schedule an appointment a few days later.

We are a business and have used Time Shred for onsite shredding for 5+ years. We have 2 locations and could not be happier with the service and price tag.

It has consistently been easy to schedule, drivers are on time, do everything as promised, and we never had a problem with anything. Works really well for us, and can only recommend.
