Dead Animal Collection

Domestic Animals

Solid Waste Services collects dead animals from the public right of way within 24 hours of notification.

Solid Waste Services cannot collect a dead animal from private property. However, as a courtesy, Solid Waste Services will collect a dead animal that has been placed at the curb. You may put it in a bag or box if you wish. DO NOT put a dead animal in your garbage cart.

To report a dead animal, call Solid Waste Services at 512-494-9400 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also send an E-mail.

If your pet has died, you may wish to call your veterinarian or a pet crematory instead. We are sorry about the loss of your pet.
