Dead animals

We can remove animals from the public highway when they have been in an accident or died of natural causes. We will arrange for our waste contractor FOCSA to remove the animal if precise details of its location are provided.

We do not remove farm animals - these should be reported directly to the farm/ farmer.

We will remove animals from the size of a domestic cat upwards and this will include dogs, badgers, foxes and deers. We will not remove smaller animals or birds - eg. mice, hedgehogs, pheasants etc.

To report an incident, or to enquire whether an animal has been collected, you can either contact Customer Services by phone - 01225 776655 (8.30am - 5.30pm Monday - Thursday, 8.30am - 5pm Friday) or email us at customerservices@westwiltshire.gov.uk

Please provide as much information as possible in order for us to locate the animal.
