Dead animals

It is unlikely we would attend to remove a dead animal in the open or from a property. Customers should consult the Council about proper disposal.

However, if they come across a small dead animal, there are steps they can take to responsibly manage its disposal. One method is to carefully wrap the animal using protective gloves and a plastic bag. This helps prevent direct contact with the carcass, reducing the chances of contamination. Once securely wrapped, the animal can then be placed in their black bin.

The Council operate a similar approach and have this advice for dead animals found on public land (this would include most roads and footpaths).
