*To maintain the flow of traffic, vehicles will not be allowed to park next to the shred truck. Please allow the Iron Mountain Representative to unload the items from your vehicle and dump them into the secured container. For security purposes, walking your information from your vehicle to the shred truck is not recommended - containers can become unstable allowing papers to blow everywhere. Limit eight to ten small boxes per vehicle. Should you have more to shred, please contact Adrienne Putnal at 281.534.5513 for further instruction.
