Junk and trash removal efforts took center stage during the Bay County Code Magistrate Hearing on July 16, 2025, as officials reviewed ongoing issues at a local property. Inspectors reported significant progress in cleaning up the site, which had previously been cluttered with derelict vehicles and unscreened personal items.

During the inspection on July 14, it was noted that most of the vinyl siding on the front of the single-wide mobile home had been repaired, and all but one derelict vehicle had been removed. A wooden accessory structure, previously deemed rotted, was also taken down. However, concerns remain as an RV with power still sits on the property, alongside additional junk and trash.

The hearing highlighted the importance of compliance with local codes, as officials emphasized that while substantial cleanup has occurred, some debris and unsightly items still linger. The property owner has been urged to continue efforts to clear the site, particularly as a burn pit was discovered where trash was being improperly disposed of.

As the community looks forward to a cleaner environment, the Code Magistrate's office will continue to monitor the situation, ensuring that the property meets local standards and contributes positively to the neighborhood.
