Identity protection: The Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce, along with sponsor member Newton Federal and member A Cut Above Shredding, offered local residents and businesses the opportunity to bring documents for shredding and recycling at no charge on April 21.  Trucks and volunteers helped securely shred dozens of boxes worth of documents. The documents were shredded to protect employees information and to help fight against identity theft. Used cell phones were also recycled at the event.
