Bay County, Fla:
Bay County’s semi-annual Waste Amnesty Days and Recycling Round-up will be held Friday, Oct. 9 and Saturday, Oct. 10 from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Steelfield Landfill located at 11411 Landfill Road in West Bay, off State 79.
“This is something we do as a service to the community, giving people an opportunity to clean up their properties and properly dispose of household hazardous waste without concern about it damaging the environment,” said Bay County Utilities Director Jamie Jones.
Residents may drop off their yard debris, household garbage and hazardous waste at no charge and are encouraged to bring recyclable materials as well. Fish ponds stocked by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission are located on the property and will be open to fishing for customers who drop off recyclables. Customers must supply their own fishing equipment and bait, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
This event is open to Bay County residents only. Proof of residency is required (e.g., driver’s license, power bill, voter registration card).
The following materials will be accepted:
Appliances (air conditioners, dryers, stoves, washing machines, etc.)
Construction and demolition debris (concrete, lumber, sheet rock, etc.)
Trash (kitchen garbage, furniture, carpet, clothes, etc.)
Household hazardous waste (pesticides, paints, used oil, fluorescent tubes, antifreeze, etc.)
Small engine containing devices (lawn mowers, weed eaters, edgers, etc.)
Tires
Yard debris (grass clippings, leaves, tree trimmings, etc.)
Recyclables (batteries, paper, plastic, metals, computers, cell phones, etc.)
Regulations prohibit disposing of appliances, household hazardous waste, small engine containing devices and tires in landfills. The landfill accepts these items, but must process them separately from other waste. If possible, please stage these materials in the load so they can be dropped off at the designated area.
Bay County will not accept gas cylinders, explosive materials, ammunition, or flares. However, residential-sized propane tanks are accepted.
The normal tipping fees will still apply to commercial customers.
For more information, contact Bay County Solid Waste Management at 236-2212.

Would Bay County Commissioners be considered as hazardous waste? They are dead from the neck up anyway.
