The Highland County Health Department and the Highland County Commissioners are providing a community dumpster at Rocky Fork Lake July 12th-14th. Courtney Hall, an environmental specialist at the Health Department, reports “there has been a large increase in nuisance complaints, specifically regarding areas with excessive garbage and we are wanting to do our part to help clean our community as a whole. We have high hopes that this event will provide an easier route for individuals to dispose of their trash and other items.”

                The dumpster will be placed at 6744 Inverness Ct. Hillsboro, Ohio 45133 and the event will be July 12th, 13th and 14th. The hours for July 12th and 13th are 9am-4pm. The hours for July 14th are 12pm-6pm. According to Courtney Hall, “The Health Department tried to vary the hours of operations throughout the event to attempt to provide individuals with different schedules the opportunity to participate as well”.

                The Health Department has distributed flyers and posters through the Rocky Fork Lake area and on social media. Hannah Guilkey-Humphrey, Special Projects Coordinator at the Health Department, mentions “we are really attempting to get the surrounding community to come together and drastically improve the appearance of our beautiful county! We want everyone, who is willing and able, to have the opportunity to participate in this wonderful event.”.

                This special event will be acting on a first come, first serve basis. When the dumpster becomes full, the event will end even if it is before 6pm on July 14th.  The following items will not be accepted at this event: concrete, rocks, bricks, batteries, auto parts, tires, drums, liquids, chemicals, appliances, electronics, hazardous waste or asbestos.
