CUSTOMER REVIEWS

“I had a ton of papers to shred. I found shred vault online and the process was so simple and worth the cost. I purchased the shred bags online received them in the mail within 2 days, filled them up and dropped them off. There are several locations for drop off which is super fast and easy. Just scan the bag and drop it in the box. I will definitely use this service again in the future. Love Shred Vault! No need to wait and wonder about finding a free shred day or waiting in line. Thank you Shred Vault !!”
