Green Shredding

You too can be a SHREDDER at $ 5 per box. Driving along G street and always seeing their sign as I entered the freeway reminded me that I needed get rid of business docs… years and years of dusty old business docs that the government says you have to keep. If you ask me, that’s just additional punishment on top of the taxes, permits, fees… to exist as a business.
Here’s how it works for $ 5 /​box.
1. Park inside their warehouse or on the street.
2. Haul your heavy paper/​docs inside.
3. They weigh it.
4. They shred it before your very eyes.
5. You pay $ 5
6. You take turns blowing kisses at each other because they are happy to have your money, and you are happy because you are many pounds lighter.
Now, I have subscribed to their quarterly shredding service so that losing paper weight is effortless and they come to my office. I look and feel better ;)
Good? Great. Go there!

The sign does not lie: $ 5.00/BOX
I thought for sure they were going to take one look at my modestly sized box, agree to the $ 5.00, but then charge me double upon picking it up — so heavy! To my surprise the guy we’ll affectionately call, «Master Shredder» grabbed it, looked at me and said, «five bucks.» Sold to the man in the stupid hat! I wear a stupid hat… sold to me… get it? make sense? I digress.
So, what’s in the box, Brad B?
The answer is: three years of credit card receipts, unopened electric bills, a magazine or five, a few pads of old scratch paper, the recipe to Coca-​Cola, Amazing Spiderman #1, the Gutenberg Bible, a Honus Wagner baseball card, some handwritten Beatles lyrics and a William Shakespeare autograph. In other words, lots of useless scrap paper. Bring on the shredder!
I was captivated. Master Shredder climbed up to his podium, tipped the box on its side and methodically swiped armfuls of paper into the hungry mouth of the machine. With every bite it would rumble and discharge unrecognizable shredded ropes of paper out the other end into the dumpster. Five minutes later, the deed was done and all that was left was an empty cardboard box. «F#ck it, shred that too,» and he did!
I cannot wait for my next visit to the shredder! Best five bucks that I’ve spent in ages. Sorry Subway, that footlong was whack.

I like the fact that they shred documents while you watch. Price is very reasonable.

Awesome!
Been looking for a shredding place that allows me to watch my documents being shredded. Called a few places and they wanted $ 1 per pound! (Umm nuts, no thanks!)
Call me paranoid but I don’t totally trust establishments that say a company comes and shreds. .
This place was awesome. I had a huge bag i could barely lift out of my car.. $ 5 they charged me, awesome! !!

Was looking for a place to shred large quantities for my office, found green shredding on Unilocal and after shooting them an email I was responded to extremely quick. I spoke to a man named Rio & after explaining to him my shredding situation, he told me about the bins that they deliver and set up in your office, we discussed price and I was shocked at how affordable it was! We set things up via email & he came the next morning & set up! Took all of 5minutes. Highly recommend Green Shredding if your a business or just looking to shred for personal use.

Easy Peasy! After reading the reviews decided to check them out. Was easy to find. We just pulled in, my husband gave them our box and the guy began to shred it right away! I read they even do pick up service as well! Wish we had discovered them sooner, but glad we found them!

So convenient and the staff is very friendly! I love the fact that I drive up and don’t have to get out of my car. We have used them for a few years now.

this place was ten different kinds of awesome. 5 bucks and my
man Mauro shredded any possibility of identity right in front of me.
Stoked!!!

It’s easy being green! Environmentally-​friendly and great prices rolled into one convenient business. I went to Green Shredding for the first time today to take care of a box full papers and three hard drives. I called ahead to ask about the hard drives and was told I could drive right into the place — no hunting for parking!
The paper was quickly shredded while I watched. They don’t send hard drives through a shredder (the only thing I would improve about this place), but they use a tool that crushes/​folds the drive in half. Wanting to be thorough I asked to have a couple of holes drilled in the drive platters and they were happy to do it.
Keep the competitive prices and I’ll be back!

Great place. Excellent service, friendly staff and affordable rates. Call ahead to see if they are open before heading down.

I had a friend who lives downtown suggest Green Shredding and I’m glad he did.
VERY reasonable pricing and the guy there shredded my documents right in front of me… fast and easy.
Was such an easy process… saved me TONS of time from doing it myself (not to mention the 14 cases of paperwork I had them shred would have burnt up my home shredder)
I will absolutely be telling friends about this place.

Thanks to Unilocal I found a place to take my dad’s junk paperwork leading back to 1986, no I’m not joking. I’m glad I was able to drop off his stuff to be shredded. I’m not sure what the per pound price is, I think their web site said $ 5/​file box. We brought in about 4 – 5 big bags, and it was $ 25. Worked for me. No parking though, that was the only draw back. Oh, and the place is RIGHT before a freeway on-​ramp, so if you miss it. Good luck.

I noticed this local «green» spot before jumping on the 94 the other day. Not a large commercial place, but very nice /​cool add to the neighborhood.
They shred large bulk items (e.g. confidential paper, account information, etc.) then recycle to other companies to make new products. My shredder at home reached its maximum capacity, so «Green Shredding» was just the ticket to same me time and energy.
Each bag only costs $ 5 per load (I had $ 10 worth), and your receipt can be leveraged as a tax deduction. Items are shred right in front of you, so there is no worry of whether the paper has been destroyed or left behind.
Go and support Tinh P., and the crew! It is definitely worth a trip! I saved about 3 — 4 hours of shred time.

I have so many girly magazines but i’m wayyyyy too lazy to freak’n take it to the recycling place. hahah, even tho I own a truck. I had heard about Green Shredding, so I decided to give ‘em a call since they come to your place and load up your stuff for you. they came in a little cart. It was so cute! but effective! Loved it! cleared out all my stuff while i sat back on my couch. hahaha. told you I was lazy. Pricing was very affordable, and in a way, I feel good knowing that I’m recycling w/​a company that believes in the whole concept of going «green.»

I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who, like me, has the need to purge months upon months of paycheck stubs, receipts, bills, and other paper-​made annoyances. They have a convenient location, but it looks like the parking situation has the potential for being a little hairy. I ended up finding parking one-​half block away, on 17^th Ave., mid-​afternoon on a Wednesday – not too bad for downtown! The shred master who was working when I arrived – he says he goes by «Tin Man” – was super nice and extremely helpful. He paused the mammoth shred job he was working on the moment I walked in and shredded my big box o’ documents right there in front of me. While they advertise $ 5/​box, it cost me 10 bucks, but the box I brought in was ginormous! Literally, at least 50 pounds. I had no reservations about paying the extra 5 bucks. I’ll definitely be going back to these guys next time a paper purge is in order.

I had been accumulating boxes of old bank statements & other confidential papers for a while. The stack was way too much for my home shredder to handle. After moving, it was time to do something about it. Green Shredding fit my needs exactly. A per box charge of $ 5 for the half dozen file boxes I had piled up over the years shredded in seconds right before my eyes. Drive in, shred and go all inside 10 minutes. Great guys with a fantastic service and, as a bonus, the whole business is run green. Fantastic!

Over the year that I had moved back to San Diego, I had accumulated so much paper i.e. bank/​investment statements, credit card offers, stuff with my social security number, etc. I don’t want to just throw it in the trash for some weirdo loser to obtain my information… so I wondered… Is there a place to throw your personal documents away!!! Is there such a place!!! Low and behold, I found Green Shredding. Hella random, I was driving downtown looking for parking and there was this truck… well not a truck… an oversized Golf cart with the website address on it. (Mind you this was 3 weeks later after I «wondered») I checked out the website and they did personal shredding and even destroyed computer hard drives. I took 2 bag loads of paper and an old computer collecting dust from my closet and took it their warehouse.
They were really cool, really professional, and I like the fact that they do as much as they can to be green eco conscious friendly. I felt that sense of security knowing that my info. was shredded to the pieces never to lay in the hands of evil. I’m pretty sure everyone has papers and or computers that have valuable information. Or even if you just want to recycle paper, Green Shredding is the place to go!
An awesome day at SYU!!! (Pom Pom)

$ 20 shredded four boxes full of documents, and he shredded it right in front of me so I walked away with peace of mind. The best things is the company’s environmental awareness-​minded way of doing business. Make sure you call first, especially if it’s a nice day and the owner would rather be at the beach :-)
