Please Help, and "Be On The Lookout" for our stolen dump trailer!

We had an 8’X16’ aluminum dump trailer trailer stolen from the township grounds this week

The stolen trailer is identical to the one pictured below, but without the top half of the dump body, and it said “cardboard” instead of “newspaper”.

Any tips can be reported to the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office (740) 652-7900 or Walnut Township Offices (740) 467-2420 x3.

Thank you!

The Fairfield County Health Department practices an integrated pest management approach to mosquito control which includes trapping adults to identify problem areas and testing for West Nile Virus, treating standing water with larvicide, draining breeding sites when possible, and spraying to kill adult mosquitoes when needed. FCHD sprays an EPA-certified product to kill adult mosquitoes from an FCHD-marked vehicle during dusk hours.
