How should I prepare my materials for shredding?

Preparing your materials for shredding is simple, and we offer flexible options to meet your needs:

  • Banker Boxes: If your documents are already packed in standard banker boxes, you're all set! Our team will pick up the sealed boxes directly from your location and shred the contents securely.
  • Loose Materials or Trash Bags: If your materials aren’t boxed and are instead in trash bags or loose, we recommend using our secure 64-gallon shredding bins. We'll deliver the bins to your facility, and you can fill them up at your convenience. Shredding is then billed per bin.

If you’re unsure how to prep or want guidance on what option works best for you, our team is happy to help. Contact us.

We are just starting out using Corodata and so far we have felt very welcome. From our tour with Jason Perry, to getting started with our forms with Miles, it has been an easy transition so far. I like that there is always an actual person to help us with our storage.

My employer has used Corodata for many years for offsite document storage. Requesting container delivery (and pickup) is as easy as an email. The delivery is within 24-48 hours, depending on how many boxes I'm requesting. Drivers are always very courteous.

I wanted to reach out and let you know how impressed I was with Marshall’s service this week. He assisted me in prepping a massive move and clearing out a significant amount of storage boxes to transition over to your warehouse.

Marshall’s work ethic was truly impressive. He didn't just do the job; he took initiative and handled every item with genuine care. I’ve been incredibly overwhelmed balancing this project alongside three other high-priority deadlines due by the end of the week; however, with Marshall’s expertise and support, I was able to finally check this off my list.

It’s rare to find that level of dedication, and I wanted to ensure his efforts didn't go unnoticed. Marshall is a credit to your team, and his performance confirmed that I certainly made the right decision in choosing Corodata.

Very nice that the driver, Ismael B., called ahead of time so I wouldn't miss him. He was very amenable to rerouting back to our office in case no one was there to let him in. I was a little panicked because there would only be two people in the office that day and we had 6 bins to pickup and exchange for empties. Could not wait to make other arrangements because we're having to clear out our office ASAP!

He’s friendly, respectful, and just an all-around great person. I’m always impressed by how smooth and convenient he makes the whole process. If you need shredding done, seriously, ask for Ismael! He’s the best!

We are always greeted with a smile by Ismael B when he picks up our shred. We are a busy medical practice. He is professional and always understanding if he needs to wait a moment for our staff to assist him to where the bins are located.

Our law firm uses Corodata for records storage and I have had the support of wonderful Corodata employees over the years. Juan delivers and picks up boxes from our office and handles dozens of boxes at a time with a smile and without breaking a sweat. Cam and Miles help with website queries and making sure our boxes are delivered securely where they need to be. They all are very professional, responsive, and pleasant in their manner and have helped make my job easier.

My introduction to this company was very unique and I had lots of questions and Miles, Record Storage Coordinator, was very professional and patient with me. He went above and beyond in every aspect of our interactions. Highly recommend this location based on his performance alone.

I worked with Donna Martin and the four stars are not in regards to her service. She is amazing if I was going to judge this solely based off of her performance she would have 5 stars. However, there was a mix up of the processing request. Instead of doing an on site service as requested they did an off site. Donna Martin was a great help in smoothing over the mix up. Which is very much appreciated. Just because of the service she gave us I am willing to use them again. I have even recommend Donna to another business in our area. Corodata has a really great employee.
