JJ and Dan were very helpful in setting up for the removal of our old x rays films, they totally took care of everything and it was done in a very timely manner.

As someone who works for CHRISTUS St. Michael, I recently coordinated with Dan at AMS Store and Shred to have a large quantity of our old X-ray films securely destroyed and recycled. The entire experience was outstanding and made what could have been a complicated process incredibly straightforward!
Dan was incredibly pleasant and professional from the very first contact. He responded quickly and patiently to my texts, helping me accurately assess how much film we had without any hassle. His clear communication and guidance made everything smooth and stress-free.
Once we had the details sorted, Dan and the AMS team got the job done efficiently and on schedule. Everything was handled with the highest level of care, security, and compliance—exactly what we need in a healthcare environment—which gave me complete peace of mind.
If you’re dealing with X-ray film destruction (or any shredding/recycling needs) for a medical facility or otherwise, I highly recommend reaching out to Dan at AMS Store and Shred. They truly go above and beyond with fantastic, reliable service!
Thank you, Dan—you made this so easy for us at CHRISTUS St. Michael!

I started using AMS for document shredding and medical waste at the beginning of the year. We just built out a new medical office and I was looking for a change in vendors. I could not be happier. From start to finish, their team is professional, reliable, and incredibly responsive. Pickups are prompt, and their staff is courteous and well-trained; always paying attention to compliance and safety. I highly recommend AMS to any medical office or business looking for trustworthy, efficient, and friendly service.

Sam did a great job of gathering up our shredding. He was personable and explained the process thoroughly. I plan to ask for him to come for the next load of shredding!

AMS was pretty much perfect. Highly communicative and very precise in answering any questions I had. The pricing for a garage full of 20+ years worth of filing was far lower than previous quotes that we’d received. Will use this company over and over again.

We had a good experience at AMS for shredding our documents. The process was very easy and efficient. I appreciated that I was able to watch my documents being shredded on the video. It was great to see everything being handled securely. The staff was friendly and professional throughout the process. Highly recommend if you need a safe and secure shredding service.
