Bay County Solid Waste Division

Bay County Solid Waste Division in Panama City is where residents and small haulers drop off household trash, yard debris and recyclables. Located off Bay Line Drive, it's the county's basic solid waste lot that sees steady traffic year-round, especially during storm cleanup. Locals swing by with trailers and pickup loads rather than big commercial trucks most of the time.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the front, so plan for a short stop before and after unloading. Traffic can back up on weekends and after storms; big piles of yard debris and a line of pickups are common sights. Recycling bins and a separate area for green waste are usually grouped away from the main trash tipping area. The site is open-air with worn concrete pads and dump areas rather than a tidy, indoor facility.
