We will remove any dead animal found on the public highway (road, pavements and open spaces). This includes wild animals such as badgers and foxes, as well as domestic pets such as cats and dogs.
What we can do
We aim to remove dead animals from roads, pavements and public open space within one working day. However, for larger animals that require specialist lifting equipment, may take longer.
All of our depots have micro chip readers for the identification of pets, so we will attempt to identify and contact the owner wherever possible.
Please note: a dead animal is typically a domesticated animal such as a cat / dog or larger wild animal such as a deer or badger.
