Pioneer Secure Shred

Thank you, Pioneer Secure Shred — what a great community service you provide!

Chen P. wrote this place up and I marked it as useful and then promptly forgot about it. In preparation for the big move we wound up with tons of stuff that needed to be shredded and I searched on Unilocal for places that shred paper and up popped Chen’s review.
What a phenomenal service Pioneer provides. The first Friday of the month from 9.30 to 11.30 you drive up, they provide you with a trash container on wheels and you dump your boxes of shreddable material. The dumpster gets rolled to a large shredding machine and you are done — NO CHARGE up to 25 boxes.
Did I mention NO CHARGE???
It would take about a month with a typical home shredder to go through that much stuff and in less than 10 minutes Pioneer provides the service for FREE.
The place is near the Bryn Mawr neighborhood — but don’t trust google maps as they send you a block away. Pioneer is really on Irving. They put out signs on the morning of the FREE shredding to direct you to the area where it takes place.

Okay, I get that paper shredding is probably an odd thing to review here on Unilocal,but I am so freaking happy to have found a place that offers free shredding that I had to Unilocal about it! I’ve had one of those little home shredders but they’re such a pain to use if you have more than a few sheets of paper, and yet it seems silly to pay for shredding. I Googled around and found this place that offers free shredding to the public. I’ve been there once and it was a breeze. It’s in Northeast Minneapolis in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood (did I spell that wrong?) maybe a mile off 394, so super convenient for those of us on the west side.
They used to do it every Friday morning but I just checked their website and now it looks like it’s only the first Friday of each month. But it’s still an awesome 5-​star service that I really, really appreciate. If I ever need a lot of shredding done these are the guys I’ll use, but in the meantime this review is my Thank You!
