Working with WM Shredding has been a very smooth experience. They’re communicative and adaptable, going as far as adjusting their schedule and our shred date at the very last minute when a project was delayed. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your amazing service - especially Kyle - who came out thinking he was going to shred "40 +/- boxes" and it ended up being more than 150!!
Professional and cost-effective services for our year-end cleaning of the file room. Plus, very secure with the option of on-site shredding. Appreciate your services!
