Report a dead animal

We are responsible for the removal of dead animals found on public land and highways. Find out how to report a dead animal to us.

Once a dead animal is reported to us we aim to remove it from a public highway/land as soon as we can.  

When reporting a dead animal you can help us to locate the animal quickly by providing as much information as possible about the location of the animal.
