Removal of dead animals from the highway: If
you find a dead animal in a public assessible area please contact
us and we'll arrange to remove it.
If you hit an animal with your vehicle you must report this to
the Police, animals smaller than dogs don't require this
action.

You can dispose of small dead animals in your wheelie bin. The
Environment Agency provides information regarding the size of a
dead animal you can bury. Sorry, we don't remove dead animals from
private residences.
