Dead Animals 

Customers in the unincorporated service area can call 916-368-7387 to have animals in roadways removed. Calls are prioritized, and public safety is our top priority; it may be several days before the animal can be removed.

Animals weighing less than 15 pounds may be deposited in County refuse containers. Dead animals more than 15 pounds or animals disposed in quantity should be taken to a rendering plant, veterinary clinic, pet cemetery or buried on the owners property.  Animals previously used for medical purposes are not acceptable for disposal.
