Dead animals

Dead animals will be removed from public areas within 2 hours of reporting the problem.

During office hours (8am - 7pm) please call 03330 035865.

At all other times, please call 0161 912 2020.

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
