I'm in the midst of a major purge. As a part of the purge, I had bags of documents that needed…read moreshredding. I have 2 good shredders. But the amount of time it would require was overwhelming, Eggleston Shredding & Document Center came to the rescue. The timing has to be quick. Drop Off service is only available from 9 - 2 M-F. My visiting son had to work from home on Friday. He would be leaving on Sunday. So I worked till midnight going through the bags to separate the trash from the shredding items so he could get them in the vehicle ready to leave early the next morning. The Shredding & Documents Center is located on N Military Highway. The building doesn't face Military Highway but it's a very visible presence. There is a large drive through at the front of the building with numerous trash cans, similar to our city recycling bins, sitting out front. Walk into a very large lobby with a cashier style glass covered area with a friendly employee behind. She instructed us to take a bin, empty our bags and containers into it, then bring the container inside to pay. If I had known the size of the bin I could have saved the time in separating junk mail. The bin could handle a huge amount of documents. The cost, $45 per bin, was unbelievable. What a tremendous amount of time was saved for such a small cost. The employee explained that the bin would be taken immediately back & dumped into the shredder. A human hand would never touch my documents. Even better, they recycle the shredded paper. She provided me with a Certificate of Destruction & a receipt. We were then on our way. Eggleston is so much more than a source for shredding. They employ individuals with disabilities & provide them the chance to learn skills & gain confidence in their abilities and independence. Improving their quality of life through multiple programs is to be applauded. Among the services they provide to 1,500 individuals at 22 locations are rehabilitation services such as Day Support, Residential Support, Brain Injury Services, Veterans Programs & Community Employment. Business Services include Document Shredding & conversion of paper to digital. They do Commercial Landscaping, prepare donated vehicles for auction, and a number of additional services. A retail Garden Center & Farmers Market is also operated. Their work with the federal government includes commercial laundry, food service, mail room & custodial. What a wonderful mission this non profit begun in 1955 has for the people who need help in becoming employable. Eggleston was a great source for bulk shredding for me. But even better, the shredding of my documents provided learning skills to those who need it the most.

Eggleston is a great place to work. They do a great help allowing people who have a disability…read morehave a job. No matter what type of disability. It's great that Eggleston will work with that employee, with their needs. Considering their transportation, or other needs that employee needs. And a good place to learn something new that a person didn't know, because of all the jobs Eggleston has in different cities. The Laundry is great doing so many bases around our area, helping them out that way.
