Report - Dead Animal

What you need to know

We will remove dead animals from the public highway. This service is offered free-of-charge and animals are usually picked up within 24 hours. We check domestic animals for a microchip once they have been collected and contact the owner if a microchip is found. If a microchip is not found we keep a brief description of the animal and the location it was collected from.

Collection of dead animals (for example, foxes, badgers, deer, dogs and cats) found on public highways, verges or other public land.  We do not collect from private land.
