If you find a dead animal, tell us and we'll remove it. If it's on private land, we cannot remove it.

Tell us about a dead animal

You can report it online or by telephone. You'll need to tell us:

  • the type of animal
  • the exact location
  • when you saw it
  • the type of place it is on, for example, a road, a pond or public land

What happens next

We try to remove dead animals within 24 hours of receiving your report.

If the animal is a pet, we'll scan for a microchip and contact the owner. We keep pets without a microchip for 5 working days in case the owner contacts us.
