This is the second year I have come to Coastal Secure Shredding to have my confidential documents shredded. Their service is excellent and their prices are competitive. And you get to watch the papers actually go through their shredder so you know they are gone! I highly recommend them!

Great place to get papers shredded! Easy to find with there huge white sign on the fence. I brought in 4 banker boxes for drop off shredding and process was pretty simple.
You drive your car up to the scale and they weigh your entire car and again when you’re done.
Be aware that they have a $ 20 minimum charge for drop off shredding, which is up to 200 lbs. I used the Unilocal check in which gave $ 10 off, which is nice.
So after weigh in, you drive over to the shredding area and an employee comes out with a trash bin. I pointed to the boxes in my car and he dumps them all in. Takes it in and dumps it onto the conveyer belt to the shredder. There’s a little cutout on the fence so you can see what’s going on in there.
Luckily there was no other customers getting stuff shredded, so I was in an out in about 10 mins.
I’ll definitely go to them again if I need more papers shredded.

I never thought about shredding my personal documents until a friend of mine recommended it. I’ve been carrying documents with me every time I’ve moved. It’s been such a hassle. Anyways, finally got around to do it. Found this place on Unilocal.Super fast! Super cheap! $ 10 discount if you check in. And very friendly service! Highly recommend it. Plus it’s fun to watch!

Ok. I admit it. I’m a hoarder. Which is why i had boxes and boxes of useless receipts mixed with important documents from 10 years ago to now. I decided to clean up my place and searched everywhere to get rid of my documents but all the places i called were so expensive! I also looked into several options, staples (98 cents/​lbs), burning it (and get fined by a firemen), mix it with bleach and water (which will take forever and what will i do with a mush??) and other shredding places that cost more than $ 100). I finally found this place from Unilocal and decided to give it a try. IT WAS A BREEZE. I just took my car with all the documents, they weight the car, shred the document, and weight the car back to see how much documents i had in the car. $ 10 dollars (with check-​in) and stress-​free!

My company uses this place to shred mass amounts of documents. It’s saves me a ton of time sitting in front of a paper shredder. Great customer service as well. That’s about all I have lol.

I came with my friend who owns a medical company to bring outdated confidential documents to be shredded. They literally weigh your entire car before as you drive up and weigh it after to determine how much was shredded. We had 540 pounds of paper! They come out to your car to assist in moving all the documents and you can watch it as its all shredded. Its an amazing process and fast. It only cost 10 cents a pound so my friend paid 54 bucks. These guys work so hard, props to them.
For the lady who have a low rating below… this place is a place you’d come with business amounts or a decent amount of paper to shred. The machines are massive. For 5 pounds I would have bought myself a small paper shredder. I would have gotten that idea if they’re weighing your vehicle before and after.

This is my first time using a public document destruction facility. I had 100 pounds of documents and at a $ 20 minimum I was able to use the check in and received $ 10 off. I must say this was the best $ 10 I’ve ever spent. the folks here efficient and it was right to the point and I was able to see my documents destroyed. I probably would have paid my grandchildren a lot more money just sit at my little shredder and burn it up and me had to buy a new shredder. Like most people I procrastinated until I had a hundred pounds of stuff. I’ll try not to procrastinate again but if I do I’ll definitely come back here.

Been coming here for 5 years … At the beginning of each year to have documents shredded… There are company’s closer to me. But this one is the most reasonable price wise highly recommend

Updating my review because the owner contacted me, apologized and offered a refund. More importantly, he also said they would be updating their signage to better explain costs. The goal is to be treated fairly, not to get something for free. Based on their sincere desire to please the customer, I am raising my rating to 3-​stars.
