We had over 130 long drawer banker boxes of documents to be shredded. Frank Riley was fast and courteous with a quote and when answering my questions. Devonte arrived on time, was friendly/ professional, and did a great job. 10/10 Would recommend!

Thanks Julie. Your crew was great with DeVonte by keeping everything so close to the truck. We love big jobs because they help us show off the great customer service we strive to provide each day. We appreciate the faith and trust you put in our team at Paper Tiger.

Paper Tiger is a great family owned shredding service. They are reliable, fast, and just fantastic. Never had any issues with their drivers and/or trucks. And when scheduling a shred, Debbie Jo Haupert is the greatest, it's always a great experience and pleasure speaking with her. Fantastic Customer Service
