Street cleaning and hazards

Dead animals

We will collect dead animals from public roads only, within two days of being reported. We do not remove dead animals on private land – you should contact the land owner directly.

All dead animals – whether domestic or wild – will be disposed of. However, we keep a descriptive log for collected cats and dogs to allow for their identification and they are stored in appropriate conditions for a minimum period of one week, should the owner be traced and wishes to collect. Please contact Neighbourhood Services on customerservice@northlincs.gov.uk

Please report dead animals that need removing using the online form:

Before you start

You’ll need to provide:

• The location of the dead animal
• Details of the type of animal
• Confirmation that the animal is dead and not on private land
• Your name, address and contact details if you want us to keep you informed.
