With this following weekend being our last free paper shredding event of the year, we want to thank all of those who joined us through all different weather conditions - sunny and warm, rainy and cold, even after a dust storm!

This year we work 20 different events and shredded approximately 100,000 pounds - or 50 tons, of paper from these events! From Woodridge, to Chicago, and through McHenry, we service all across the Chicagoland area.

We are still open for work from Monday through Friday during the week, make sure to give us a call to see if we can get rid of your unwanted papers today!
