I scheduled an appointment to shred the papers at their location which was nearby. Took just a few minutes and the price was great. I would have spent days trying to shred all this at home.
Description of Work: Had several large boxes of papers to shred. Most of their work is for companies and buildings but they also handle smaller jobs like mine.

Scott was great, did all the work and seemed to want me to stick around until the shredding was done. I had about 250 lbs of paperwork to shred.
Description of Work: You bring your paper to them, they shred while you wait. They no longer have a retail store but if you call and make an appointment they took me same day. They also can drive their shred truck to your location.

Description of Work: I used them very successfully a year ago but called this year for hours of operation only to find their retail store is closed. Glad I called first because on line ads don't tell you that. They do have Saturdays by appointment & come to your house (but more expensive). Sorry to see the retail operation close.

I asked to be present for the shredding and made an appointment with the company when the truck was present. I was early, and they took my documents in about 15 minutes. You walk out to the truck with your documents in a large bin. The bin is lifted into the truck mechanically and the documents are shredded. I saw mine go in. There was a bin by me that had been shredded one way. The operator then place that bin back into the truck to be shredded the other direction. Very nice people and I will use them again. They also take used cords, remotes, etc. for a fee.
Description of Work: I had seven computer case sized boxes of paper to shred.

Description of Work: Very positive experience. I arrived at their Alexandria location, was served immediately, watched the shredding taking place, and was charged a very reasonable fee for the service. Great way to destroy old bills, checks, tax forms and other documents with personal identifying information.

I called and wanted to know about their services and learn how their services worked out. Very basic information, I had questions and I wanted to get very basic answers. My advice is never start off an answer with, "Obviously you don't know...." No - I don't know...that's why I called you in the first place!!!! The conversation was painful, he was very rude and chippy. I could not believe the poor customer services and lack of professionalism he had. YOU SHOULD BE NICE AND MAYBE YOU COULD GET MORE CUSTOMERS!!!! Don't bother calling ShredStation Express, Inc unless you want to be met with a rude, cranky and thoughtless individual. How they ever got on Angie's list - I will never know.

I truly apologize that you had a bad experience on the phone, I can assure you that is not the way we run our business. Unfortunately to give phone quotes we have to ask many questions sometimes, such as where the paper is (DC, MD, VA), if it is in an office building and what floor is it on, Is there parking for a 30 foot long shredding truck etc., there is no one size that fits all. Again I apologize, please let us know if there is something we can do to make it up to you.

This was my first time at Shred Station Express. I had approximately 65 pounds of documents to be shredded. When I got there one of the men came out to my car and carried two bags of documents in to the store. The documents were weighed and while I waited for the return of my carry bags, they shredded everything while I watched. They were friendly and very professional. They also recycle computers, cartridges, and TV's just to mention a few. Nice to know when it's time to recycle electronic equipment. I will be going back!

I was in the middle of moving and decided not to ship any extraneous paper products. After separating out the non-essentials, I called around looking for someone who would shred while I watched. My job was small enough that they were agreeable to that, so I drove over and had that task checked off my to do list within the hour. My only comment is that the shredder only cut the paper into strips. in the long run, when I pay for shredding, I like to have it shredded into cross-cut pieced instead of into ribbons.

Thank you for your nice review. I guess you did not ask what our full process was or we would have informed you that after shredding your paper inside the store (our machine does a high security crinkle cut, not a straight cut), when we close at the end of the day all paper is cross cut shredded into our shred truck. So your paper was actually shredded twice. After we fill the truck, the paper is sent to a paper mill where it is de-inked (all the words are removed) and made into recycled paper. Nothing goes to the land fill. Again thank you for coming in and the nice review. If you have further questions please feel free to call us.

I did a little early spring cleaning and soon found myself with 5 filled boxes of paperwork that I wanted shredded. (These boxes are small 1.5cu moving boxes.) I called one company about them coming to my home. then I called ShredStation Express -- while they will come to my home, I decided to bring them in personally. Mary was very nice, helped me with the boxes, and even allowed me to watch her shred all of the material -- and offered to keep the empty boxes to recycle. I was impressed with the cost -- a different company has a standard $129 starting fee to come to my home -- I don't know what ShredStation Express' at-home shred costs are (don't know if they added a charge or not), but I loved the price -- all based on weight in the office. I was also very impressed by all of the other things they shred/recycle -- definitely a place I'll keep in mind for computers, phones, etc. All in all, it was a great experience and I would use them again anytime!

The equipment/truck was quite up to date. The price was much less than I have paid in the past for similar services
Description of Work: I had many confidential documents from my old law practice that needed to be shredded as well as personal documents. I wanted someone who would come to me so that I could be certain that the documents were completely shredded. The man arrived when he was supposed to, acted professionally and expeditiously, was courteous.

Upon arrival I was greeted immediately. Paper was weighed and shredded. I was out the door within minutes. A very valuable service in a timely and friendly environment. They do more than shred paper, also dispose of many items. A list of services is available by visiting it online.
Description of Work: Spring cleaning produced a substantial load of paper in need of shredding. More paper than my personal shredder would accommodate without hours of concentration. Called to confirm business hours, and process.

We are very pleased with the arrangements, promptness, ease and speed with which it was all done. It took months, (actually years) to gather all of that shreddable paper, so it was miraculous to have it dealt with so quickly.
Description of Work: We had over 20 boxes of paper to be shredded, and were making arrangements to take them over to the company address. Mr. Myers asked if we wanted to just drop them off or watch them be shredded. We wanted to watch. He said it would take about half an hour, unless his mobile truck was back. It had a larger capacity shredder on board. We inquired about the availability of the truck coming to our house. He said "this afternoon". Three hours later, in our own driveway, we watched as the contents of our 20 boxes were loaded and shredded. It took all of 20 minutes! Also, he said that none of the paper ends up in landfills. The shredded paper goes to a recycled paper mill.
