Request dead animal removal

• We will remove dead animals from the adopted highway or council-owned sites.

Remove a dead animal from private land

• If the animal is small, you can double bag it and put it into general waste.
• If the animal is large, you can contact the National Fallen Stock Company (NFSCo) on 01335 320 014 and they will arrange a collection of the animal. This is a chargeable service.
• If the animal is on a property owned by someone else, you may seek advice from environmental.health@wokingham.gov.uk who may require the property owner to arrange removal.
