You've asked and we've responded...
"Don't You Just Have A Place Where I Can Drop Off A Few Boxes & Watch Them Get Shredded?"
... Why yes we do... And the Price is UNBEATABLE!
I understand that not everyone has enough paper to justify the cost of calling out the big shredding truck... and to be blunt... a big shredding truck to shred a box of paper is like using a Shotgun To Kill A Fly!
... Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly send out the trucks to shred whatever you have...
... But It's Good To Know You Have Options.
My goal is not to try to fit everyone in a one size fits all mold.
... My other goal is to try to put those personal shredding machine manufacturers out of business... for the most part - they are not worth a fraction of what they cost... which nowadays is up over $150 bucks each.
Consequently I've put together a service previously not available to the General Public.
Here's the deal: I'm a 6 year veteran of the United States Navy and during that time I receied a Secret Clearance that allowed me to work with some of the Military's Most Sensitive Communication Codes.
I treat Your Documents just like I treat My Documents just like I treat Military Documents - with Unparralled Sensitivity and Attention to Detail.
Best of all, this is the Most Affordable Option you'll find for shredding everything you need, quickly, securely, and professionally.
Here's what I've got for you:
- Guarantee your documents are destroyed to your satisfaction by supervising (Witnessing) the entire evolution in person from our personal viewing window.
- Mega Budget Saving (un-Witnessed) Option of just dropping your documents off for later destruction.
- Completely open to "Walk-In" traffic from Residential and Commercial Customers... No job is too small or too big and No Appointment is Necessary.
- Spend dollars locally as we are a Locally Owned & Operated Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business certified by the State of California.
- Make Short Work of your Big Shredding Projects. Shredding everything yourself is Pure Gut-Wrenching Agony, trust me, I’ve been there myself.
- Safeguard precious time and humiliate that little God-Forsaken personal shredder of yours. Astonish your neighbors when you shred more, faster than you ever dreamed possible, for less money out-of-pocket than their personal shredder. (They’ll hide their $150 shredder every time you come over!)
- Painless Shredding means you don't have to worry about paperclips, staples, plastic spiral bindings, manila folders, two prong clasps or much of anything else.
- Rest assured that your documents are in safe hands as I demand that all my employees have passed Complete Background Checks, this includes Employment History Verification, Initial & Random Annual 7 year Criminal Record Search, Initial and Regular Drug Screenings.
- Being Ex-Military, Trust Me When I Say Our Uniforms Are Unique: I go to great expense enforcing a strict uniform policy that Endears Confidence and Professionalism to all our customers.
- Along with uniforms, all employees have a Photo I.D. Badge displayed at all times indicating their Name, Position, and of course, The Total Secure Shredding Logo! My technicians are held accountable for their performance and it's important you know who you're dealing with - By Name.
- Ensuring a standard of customer service, whether it’s a Fortune 500 Company or an Individual Residence, the Policies and Procedure Manual (Signed By All Employees) I’ve been able to put in place keeps your needs and budget in mind without sacrificing security.
- Fort Knox Like Security... Breathe Easy knowing all documents are shredded by my fully screened employees in our completely secure facility (24/7 Alarm & Video Camera Monitored) .
- Internal Audit Accountability: Work-In-Process forms are created for any documents you didn't witness destruction that track your documents through the destruction process. At completion, the forms are routed for final check-off concluding in a Certificate of Destruction sent out to you. This Fully Auditable Process ensures I know when your Documents were Received, when they were Destroyed, and when they were Recycled.
- Free Certificate of Destruction immediately provided if you witness the destruction of your documents or a Certificate will be mailed or emailed to you for un-witnessed destruction.
- Contribute to a Healthier Renewable Environment by knowing 100% of your shredded paper is recycled.

Oh, by the way, here are the prices that will blow you away...
Wait... I almost forgot something...
We charge by the standard size file box. That's a file box that measures 10" x 12" x 15" and they typically will hold about 25 to 30 pounds of paper.
If you don't have it in boxes, no problem, we will provide you a visual estimate based on standard size file boxes when you get down here.
So if you have it in plastic bags or big rubbermaid containers - No Problem.
We Prorate Everything.
Also, after your first box, we start charging by the half box.
1 Real Quick Tip Before I Get To Prices...
You can really maximize how much paper you get into a box if you take out paper, clips, staples, and other non-paper items and then stack everything nice and neat into the box. We don't weigh boxes - so we don't penalize if you really take your time and pack all the papers neatly and efficiently into the boxes. You don't have to. I know it takes time. But it's an option!
Finally, without further ado, the price list...
