I have tried to find a document shredding company in Colorado Springs where we can take boxes of old docs and watch them get shredded. Federal Document Shredding, where we used to go, is no longer in business and it appears Iron Mountain has closed their doors. I was on hold for 15 minutes with Iron Mountain until someone in India answered. She struggled to understand my question and eventually directed me to their site in Aurora. I drove by the Iron Mountain address on Stone Street in Colorado Springs that remains listed in the internet only to find a note on the door saying, "Under new ownership. No document shredding done here." When I phone other companies, it seems like the shredding mafia, in the form of "Shred Nation" have taken them all over. It also appears all shredders now only work for corporations or you must pay them to drive a truck to your place to take your documents and trust they're securely shredded. As an alternative, you can take documents to places like Office Depot and, again, pay to have your documents "securely" disposed of off-site. Nobody in this town has a location where you can go and watch your documents be shredded for your own peace of mind. Iron Mountain, included. Shame. read more
