DEAD ANIMALS

The Division of Solid Waste will pick up carcasses of small animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and rats. We will not pick up the carcasses of large animals such as cows, horses or sheep. All items should be placed in a garbage bag on the curb. The Division of Solid Waste is not allowed to enter private property to pick up dead animals. Once the dead animal is on the curb, please call 425-2255 and request a pickup.

Motorists who wish to report dead animals on the roadway, regardless of size should contact LexCall at 425-2255.
