“Retain & Shred is reliable, on time, and consistent. The price is less than similar companies. They took our shred too and worked with us for extra pick-ups when we transitioned to electronic charts to dispose of our hard copies safely. I would highly recommend it! They also have training for employees that is perfect for small offices.”

Lisa Greaves

Lisa Knutson

“Our school corporation has been using Retain & Shred for several years for document shredding and medical waste pickups. We've been very pleased with the services and haven't experienced any issues. The email notifications before the pick-ups are also greatly appreciated. Highly recommend them!"
