A huge thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Community Clean Up Day. Thanks to our residents, the event was a tremendous success!
Together, the community filled:
- Four large dumpsters — including one that held the day’s largest item brought for disposal: a golf cart!
- Nearly 700 pounds of paper collected for secure shredding with the help of File 13.
We appreciate everyone who helped keep Darby Township clean and beautiful.
📅 Be sure to mark your calendars now — next year’s Community Clean Up Day is already scheduled for Saturday, May 8, 2027!

About Our Township
Darby Township, located in the southern section of Union County, Ohio, was organized in 1820 and named after the Big Darby Creek which runs through the township. Our township is governed by a three-member board of trustees and an elected fiscal officer. Our beautiful rural township is home to Unionville Center and offers our residents a safe and friendly community. Darby Township is also home to Fairbanks High School, named after Charles W. Fairbanks, the 26th Vice President of the United States under President Theodore Roosevelt. Charles Fairbanks was born and raised in Darby Township before marrying and moving to Indianapolis to pursue a career in politics. We take great pride in our history and our community here in Darby Township, and we invite you to come and experience all that we have to offer!
Charles W. Fairbanks
26th Vice President of America from 1905 to 1909
