Keeping information safe: Brandon Carter, vice president of operations and co-owner of A Cut Above Shredding company, stands by a truck filled with documents to be shredded.
Newton Federal Bank and the Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce hosted the second annual Shred Day. Residents were able to have documents that held sensitive information disposed in a safe way. A Cut Above Shredding provided free shredding services for residents.
The shredded material is then sent to a secured recycling facility and is processed into paper material used for inserts in toilet paper and paper towel rolls.
