Remove a dead animal from private land
If the animal is a large animal, don't touch it, due to the risks to public health. In this case the report should be put through to Environmental Health.
If the animal is smaller, you can put it into general waste or you can contact the National Fallen Stock Company (NFSCo) (which is a chargeable service.)
You can call them on: 01335 320 014 and they will arrange a collection of the animal.
