They are always helpful and easy to work with. Today they were slow so I the staff member kindly assisted me in getting my records out of plastic sleeves. As I was leaving 3 cars pulled in. I was fortunate! read more

Vital Shred - Shredding Services Near Me - San Diego, California

Quick, easy, friendly service, walked in, had 3 bankers boxes shredded while I watched within 5 minutes, I think total time on site was about 10 minutes. Finally a shedding place you can come in without an appointment and get stuff shredded while you wait (and watch). All the other places you had to try to time your visit while one of their trucks was there (and the trucks were never on time). I'll definitely be back here next time I need stuff shredded! read more

I don't shred a lot but when I do this is going to be the place I use. The prices are wonderful because for about 5 bucks they will shred probably around 4 shoe boxes full. Its real easy here you can just drop off and pay or pay a little extra to watch them shred your stuff. The employees are pretty helpful explaining the process. Also if you check in you'll receive 15 percent off. read more

See all

Fantastic service. The person who helped me was friendly, quick, and efficient. Very good about explaining the witnessed shredding, and hard drive destruction services. Very professional service, felt very comfortable in how everything was handled. read more

This was my first time there. They were fast and extremely nice and efficient. I'm impressed with their prices and their facility. I would highly recommend them! read more

Great people -great service - easy to find. We waited to see shredding. Now confident in the security of the system.

Professional, friendly and fast. Definitely the best place if you need to shred your documents and see that they are really shredded! Would not choose any other place. read more

I have used this company many times over the years. Great customer service, and very fast. No need to wear out your personal shredder at home! I choose to do Witnessed shredding, but there are other options that are detailed on their web site. I've also used them for hard drive destruction. I just brought in my laptop, and they opened it (not always an easy task), and removed the hard drive. Great parking right outside their door. They will assist you in bringing in your boxes. Also a very inexpensive source for good, used binders. read more

With all the Covid restrictions I was nervous I wouldn't be able to do my semi annual shredding of important documents, etc.. no issues whatsoever. Fast and easy, never had an issue here and they do great work! read more

Fast, easy and flexible. I did not have banker's boxes, but it took about 10 seconds for Dan to estimate that there were two boxes' worth. He carried the boxes inside from my car and, once inside the office, the process was fast, pleasant and very inexpensive, especially with the website coupon. I did not stay to watch the shredding, but did receive a document of destruction. As other reviewers had said, there are only good things to say about Total Secure Shredding. read more

I have used this company for over 8 years. Today I took a huge box of paperwork to be shredded. The facility and the employees were taking all necessary precautions due to the Covid-19. I will continue to use them, every year as usual! Thanks again for everything! They offer a $1.00 off coupon if you get a quote online. If you drop off and watch them shred it (that is what I do) it is only $7.95. If you just drop it off and don't stay to watch them shred it (they shred through the out the day) it is only $4.95. They can also come to your home or office to do the shredding on-site. I have used this service before when I had over a dozen boxes to shred. read more

I went online and got the quotes for different shredding options, drove up without an appointment and got all my boxes shredded. Quick and easy witnessed service. Showed the email quote for a discount. Great customer service, friendly and professional. read more

I'm about to move and was looking for a place to shred a bunch of documents securely. After doing some research I found this place. I decided to try it out based on reviews. And the reviewers where all right! This place is very professional. They give you two options to drop the stuff off or for a few bucks extra you can physically see them shred your stuff! They even have a camera to show your documents as they're being shredded. Wow. Amazing and very comforting knowing your documents with personal information being destroyed. Very satisfying lol. I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

Fast, easy, friendly. No reason to put off all that shredding anymore! They will even come out to your car and help you unload. Tip: they charge by the box (file box like you get flat at Staples) NOT by weight. read more

I researched 7 companies for paper shredding before I decided to go with Total Secure Shredding. They had great reviews, the best prices, convenient location, and onsite shredding. Also, there were discounts for a Yelp check-in and going to the Total Secure Shredding website and getting a quote, but I don't think that the discounts can be combined. When we arrived, there was a short wait as there were 2 other customers in front of us. Our papers were in containers that were a different size than bankers boxes. The staff were polite and friendly and explained that they determined the equivalent number of bankers boxes by emptying our containers into a shredding bin for measurement. The staff even helped us to empty our containers into the bin! We will definitely be back for our next batch of paper shredding. read more

Location (as always) first: this place is right behind 99 Ranch, in Kearny Mesa. You have to drive past 99 Ranch if you're coming off the 805, and take the first left on Ruffner. After cleaning out the paper and small items from my parents' house, I brought in a whole shopping list of stuff: 50 old prescription bottles, 45 floppy disks, a hard drive, and close to 300 lbs (!!!) of old papers. My parents were raised during the Depression, and never. threw. anything. away. Dan was kind, very accommodating, and thorough. I did witnessed shredding, so I watched on the monitor as those hundreds of pounds of paper (and even some thin, hardcover directories) were turned into confetti within minutes. The same with the hard drive and the disks. After each shredding, I was shown the finished product: confetti. This is, in addition, a green facility -- so all that paper gets sorted and recycled into brown paper for various purposes. Even the receptionist was kind, knowledgeable, and very patient with my endless questions. A great business. A+++ read more

FANTASTIC COMPANY! They were so nice on the phone and were very reasonably priced for document shredding! We went with this company because they are locally owned and had amazing reviews! If you need documents destroyed give these folks a call! They are awesome and you will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent service. This place is really hard to find. Make sure you put the suite number in when you're putting it into GPS otherwise you will spend more time looking for the place than getting the job done. It is incredibly efficient once you get there and the person that helped me was great. He lifted the stuff from my car into the bins. And then I got to watch the process. Amazing. read more

I likeI like this place they do great work and you can watch them do it in front of you and it doesn't cost much pier entertainment factor things seem things destroyed understood but these ladies are awesome personal smiling even the owner in the truck drivers are all helpful and they get your stuff in and out in a timely manner and you can watch it get destroyed and you know that things are gone and that you're on to the next point of life and it helps you move forward on your future thank you again very much ladies you did a great job read more

COVID has given me the opportunity to do some serious cleaning! Ended up w/ 3 boxes of paper sitting in my living room.. My sister had papers and hard drives shredded a few years ago and was very pleased with their service.. I went today with those 3 boxes.. The gentleman that assisted me was very nice . He took the boxes from my trunk and placed all paper in a bin. I opted for the Witnessed shredding.. As soon as the shredding began, he called me over to a screen where I was able to watch my documents being shredded.. I highly recommend them! I'll definitely be back ! read more

Place is fantastic I had like 12 banker boxes of paper top be shredded and originally called Iron Mountain who wanted 250.00 to come onsite ( Only option). I did the online quote on their website and got immediate 4 different options. I dropped it off and it cost me like 43 bucks! Staff is friendly and helpful. I will be using them for all my shredding needs. read more

Cheapest place for personal shredding. Will use them again and will recommend to our family and friends.

Every time I use this company, they have been discreet and professional. They are easy to work with and their pricing is very reasonable!

This is one of my favorite San Diego businesses. Everything about it is just right! It's conveniently located, but it's also kind of "Kearny Mesa quirky" (my phrasing), like where you enter from the back and it's all industrial buildings and business vehicles all around. It's also has a huge parking lot! It feels like a solid Kearny Mesa business. It's super easy to use them and find them and work with them. You can bring boxes or items in bags and you are met by the nicest greeter. I met Dan this time. You enter from the back through the Customer door. If your items are in bags, bring them inside and you work together to estimate how many "boxes" those bags would have filled, and all four of my bags would have only filled two banker's boxes. Not bad! I brought a $1 off coupon from their website. I got a ton of stuff shredded for about $7. And I opted for the basic shredding -- no watching needed. My items were super secret confidential, but I have full trust and faith in them. And they explain how they shred at the end of the day for the non-witness shredding. In this era of Marie Kondo-ing our lives, this is really what you should be doing with papers and folders and files: bulk, mass shredding. Get rid of it. Drive it over and be done with it. Boxes or bags. Let the pros do it. They explain their services on their website. It makes it so easy to clean your office, business, records or whatever: it all goes, no second though. Super confidential items? All gone. Not a second thought. Thank you, Total Secure Shredding. Customer for life. read more

Great customer service! Quick, reliable and honest. Bob is the best!. The pricing is reasonable and you can bring all kinds of documents as well as hard drives. read more
