Bay County Expands Free Waste Disposal Days Following Hurricane Isaias
What happened
Bay County expanded its biannual Waste Amnesty Days in response to Hurricane Isaias. The free disposal event is running immediately, starting Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, at the Steelfield Landfill. The event will also return on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17. The free drop-off is restricted to Bay County residents, while commercial customers must pay standard tipping fees.

Why it matters
The expansion provides free disposal for storm debris and household waste, which increases operational costs and resource usage for Bay County. The landfill in West Bay is expected to process an increased volume of waste during the amnesty period.
