OUTRAGEOUS SURCHARGES OVER AND ABOVE THEIR WEBSITE FEE SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CHARGED OVER 37% OVER AND ABOVE THE ALREADY HUGE COST. Just 14 small banker's boxes cost $513.79 to shred with $133.32 of that in surcharges.

My company used Shred-It/ Stericycle they currently have been owing us a refund for over a year going into 2 years now and refuse to send out the owed payment w/ numerous amounts of calls, and emails being ignored. I have not received any type of help to resolve this matter. When I call, I am giving excuse after excuse. Promise of the payment being processed and never able to talk w/ anyone in the processing department. Just no justice so unfair.Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Worst company ever. Pick Up and Shred fees continuously go up and then they tell you that you cannot cancel due to an automatically renewing 3 year contract which occurred 2 weeks ago which was never explained and no notification was given that it was about to renew, giving me no opportunity to cancel. This is going to be a battle unless they talk to me about this. No one wants to discuss this. They just want to keep billing me. They even said that if I do not continue my services or postpone my pick *** that they will bill me anyway for the remaining 3 years. Charges started around $80 range and are now over $102 for the smallest trash can size pick up they offered . There are fees for cancelling as well. I was told by the rep in the beginning that there would be no contract and then they send an acceptance email that sneaks in terms that differ from what their sales rep explained.Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Currently using Shred-It / Stericycle for medical document destruction. We signed our contract in January, received our bins in February, and have been scheduled for an every 4-week pickup. We are not able to adjust our service pick-up schedule, we cannot connect with a representative who can explain why we are not being billed or receiving any invoices, and have not received adequate help even after reaching out repeatedly. We will be ending our service.Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Worst experience ever!!! I called in February to schedule our shredding. The person I spoke with immediately sent over a quote, which I signed and returned. At that time he told me that someone would contact me within two weeks to schedule. Around mid-March, I hadn't heard from anyone, so I called back. The girl who answered (I believe in *****), stated that I had an appointment for April 24th. I told her that no one ever contacted me about it, so I was glad I called because we had to bring the boxes up from the basement before they came. So, on April 23rd, we carried the 31 legal-size banker's boxes up from the basement to our lobby. April 24th came and went and no one called or showed up. The following week, I called back a woman (I am assuming the same woman from ***** by her accent) then tells me that we are scheduled for May 26th. At which point I tell her that we had to carry all of those boxes up, so I need to confirm that this will be the date, because we will have to take them back downstairs and bring back up since it's a month away. She assures me that we have a pick-up scheduled for May 26th. So May 25th, we bring all 31 boxes back up. NO ONE SHOWED UP on May 26th. I called them again. At this time she states that she will have someone from the local office call to schedule. It is not June 3rd and I have yet to hear from anyone. Today I contacted a different company. They will be here on Wednesday to pick-up the boxes to be shredded. I will NEVER use this company again or recommend them to anyone!Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Worst service, We started using Stericycle for bio waste pick up, they showed up once to drop off bins and never came back on the scheduled dates. they still billed us for services not rendered of course. I have had countless phone calls and emails to get this fixed and nothing had changed. I finally cancelled in April 2024 but I have recevied another bill..... this company is robbing people.Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Booked an in-home collection in ******** for 20 Files to be collected from the side of the house and reassured that it could be done with their trolley.I waste a day waiting, he turns up an hour late, gets out of his truck, no Hi, just sour face & walks to the basement, tells me he has to take this phone and disappears.15 minutes later I walked to his truck, he was sitting in the driver's seat and lowered the window when asked what was going on. He says I cannot do it, I have a bad Heart!!Why would Shredit employ this OAF, who thinks he is doing me a favour? If he has a heart issue he should get a desk job or better seek benefits, instead of inflicting his anger on customers. Could there be a racial preference too? It will be strongly denied of course.!Would ANYONE want to deal with this firm?Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Terrible service (Shred-it) I have ever encountered. I won't recommend to anyone. Called 5 times and each time cost me an hour to tell them what's going on (called them to pick up about 10 boxes of paper and closed out the account, they picked up the bin without picking up 10 boxes of paper). Called them to pick up and we would pay the fee, no one showed up. Calls after calls, month after month, still nothing happened. After closed out the account, called a one-time service. Was quoted for $335 for 3 large totes, got a bill for $734 ($335 for 1 large totes, $110 for additional tote, surcharges $180). I swear I will never use Shred-it service again. NEVER!!!!!!Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Terrible customer service. They call and never say a word on the phone. WHen they do decide to talk they don't listen and still try and collect for service they didnt provide. I have a set schedule of every other month. I work out of my home and they show up every month and expect to get paid for a service they did not perform. When you call the local office they claim someone will call you back and they never do. I would certainly tell anyone who asks NOT NOT NOT to use them.Shred-It, a Stericycle Company

Absolutely atrocious company to deal with. Steer clear from them. Billing is absolutely horrendous, Overcharged me for months, said they were going to refund, that never occured, now they are sending bills for services yet again. Account reps are horrible to deal with. Literally, stay far away from this company!!!Shred-It, a Stericycle Company
