Animals (dead)

Dead animals cannot be accepted at any of our household waste recycling centres.

You are generally allowed to bury your pet in your garden. You should not bury animals too close to the house or near a water supply. Pet crematoriums are also available to use:

  • Harrogate pet crematorium
