Every time I glanced at my beat up desk I wanted to replace, I knew the first order of business would need to be cleaning out the two file cabinets underneath it.
But the job was so overwhelming; I kept putting it off.
I saw whole weekends wasted feeding a cross-cut shredder. And to top it off, mine died during my last enthusiastic shred-a-thon.
But what if I could bag it up and have SOMEONE ELSE do it?
Yahoo!
(Why hadn't I thought of this eons ago?)
Out of my closet I gleefully pulled a Rubbermaid tub of divorce documents, old tax returns, financial documents, you name it.
I emptied out file drawers with an enthusiasm last seen when I was small on Christmas Day.
Being flinty because it's cheaper if you come to them, I drove my haul to their Oakland facility though they will come to your home or business and shred on site.
They had a skeleton staff on Saturday morning but someone came out immediately with a rolling bin to unload my car.
My little boy and I went to a small room with video monitors and watched them empty everything into the industrial shredder.
It saved me scores of hours and frustration doing it myself and saved me money too: To replace my broken cross-cut shredder would've cost $80-$100.
Here?
It cost $22, including a $10 Yelp check-in discount, to shred 140 pounds of documents.
To translate, that's 5 grocery bags, 1 under-the-bed storage box and 1 giant Rubbermaid tub.
Leave it to Shred Works and save yourself the frustration and wasted hours.
I will never do this thankless task again when it's so much cheaper and faster to have Shred Works do it for me.Helpful 25Thanks 0Love this 20Oh no 0Business owner information

Took care of everything we needed very quickly and efficiently. I appreciated that I could watch the materials being shredded. Prices were also reasonable and much much better than a couple other places I looked at.

What a great find for shredding! The folks here are so friendly, professional, and helpful; and the prices are outstandingly reasonable.
It is so simple.
Just drive on to the lot and someone will come out to assist and take the materials right at your vehicle. There's no need to go inside.
The whole process took all of ten minutes for several boxes of materials.
Highly recommend this business. Not in the best neighborhood, but hey it's a shredding establishment.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Ellen F.San Francisco, CA022Nov 12, 2023

Hi Catherine,
Your kind words are our motivation to keep on providing the best customer service experience. We highly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for inspiring us and making our day brighter! - William F.San Francisco, CA061Oct 19, 2023
I recently used Shred Works to coordinate shredding service for my relative who lives in San Francisco. I highly recommend using Shred Works if you are in the market for their services. I worked with Tina to manage our communications and to schedule pick up for our 40 banker boxes.
She was very pleasant, very organized and detailed in her communications. I raised the issue of a pick up restriction with a bus stop outside of the business location.
She was quick to ask for the business address and worked with her team to plan an alternate pick up site. Their team was efficient and the process was flawless.
We now have a reliable source for document shredding service. 5+ Stars.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Had several boxes of paper to shred, worker came out (forgot his name, my fault) but he was real cool. Helped me get the boxes out and asked if I was dropping off or staying to verify. I would go back again for my shredding needs.
