The Council does not offer a free collection service for pets or animals found dead on private property.

• Large wild animals and pets (e.g. deer, sheep, fox, badger, swan) can be collected through our Bulky Waste Collection Service for a small charge
• Smaller wild animals (e.g. rodents, birds, feral cats) can be disposed of in your grey wheeled bin. Please ensure the animal is double bagged before placing in the bin
• Rare animals, such as birds of prey and otters should be reported to the Cheshire Wildlife Trust as they may wish to examine the animal before it is disposed of
