I've dealt with this shredding company in the past with a prior employer and they were always great. When I opened up my own office they were the first ones I reached out to. I had them drop off a console and had to have it emptied once so far. Great people and efficient. They are the best!UPDATE 3 YEARS LATER: Still the BEST in Yuma!! They show up every 12 weeks, and as expected... they always show up on time. Love the convenience they offer my business.

Desert Document Shredders is a fantastic company! They are very professional, fast and clean. We cleaned out our business loft of at least 45 storage boxes with outdated docs. They showed up right on time and got to work. Within 30 minutes they were done with the massive pile and left the area better than when they arrived. I would highly recommend them and will definately use them again.
