Deceased animals

Our waste contractor removes deceased animals from parks, roads and footpaths. To arrange for removal of a deceased animal, please call us on 07 3412 3412.

Deceased dogs and cats will be scanned for a microchip and if identified, we will contact the owners. Deceased pets can be returned to their identified owners.

For deceased animals on a major road (e.g. motorways or highways), please call the Department of Transport and Main Roads on 13 19 40.

If you see a deceased animal in powerlines, please call Energex on 13 12 53. Energex will remove the animal from the lines, then put it in a bag and leave it for us to collect.
