“My experience with this place was great! I was in the process of moving across the country and had lots of documents that I wanted shredded. I have a little shredder but it would have taken a really long time to do it myself versus showing up at their business with maybe a 140 pounds of documents that they were able to shred in maybe 10 minutes. I witnessed the shredding which was a fascinating process. I also had them destroy multiple hard drives, iPhones, iPads as well various items that were no longer usable. I don't often write reviews but if you are looking for this kind of service I would highly recommend this business in terms them being very helpful and having great prices!”
“When you have private or confidential files you want to shred, you can trust Shredding Place in Torrance. I've been using their services for over 16 years. I have clients' files with their personal IDs, clients' medical records, my old TAX files, the company's records, old Fax records files, old DVDs and CDs, and my past school's personal information. They have all types of shredding machines for paper, discs, old cassette tapes, old VHSs, hard drives, films, etc., at their facility. You can drop off or make an appointment to be a witness to the shredding process yourself. Their prices are less than half the price of the UPS Store shredding service. Even if you have a lot of everyday shredding items, I highly recommend Shredding Place. They're exceptionally trustworthy. To be frank, they did not ask me to write and post my honest review on Yelp.”
“What a great company! I was caught in a bind calling all over the South Bay. I told myself that I was going to try one more number to see if I could get someone that was open on Saturday. I called and they were not open, however they were coming in later. I met them at their office and what a joy meeting with them. After ten minutes job done, had a great time, great conversation and will make it a point to bring all my recycling here!”
