Northern Michigan is getting a new document shredding service. Tim Ridley and Denis Droope are opening Great Lakes Secure Shredding in West Branch. The company will offer off-site shredding and drop off shredding. They will pick up between Standish and Mackinac Bridge.

The company is currently installing their shredder and baler. They hope to be operational by the first of February. They plan on using flex fuel vehicles to be a greener company.

It is nice to see new companies entering the market. With all the consolidation in the market the natural response is new local services starting up. An efficient market will always spawn new companies.
