Bay County faces debris cleanup costs without curbside pickup after Hurricane Isaias
What happened
Following Hurricane Isaias, Bay County is not providing curbside debris pickup in unincorporated areas outside city and town limits. Commissioner Moore stated that the county is managing costs and is uncertain about receiving reimbursement from FEMA for the serious six-figure expenses. Residents, including Cynthia and Ronald Mitchell, noted that hauling debris themselves can be a significant burden.

Why it matters
The lack of county-provided debris removal places the financial burden of cleanup on residents, who must either haul debris themselves or use the county landfill. Commissioner Moore indicated the county is fiscally prudent but faces uncertainty regarding external funding to cover the cleanup costs.
