What do I do if I find deceased wildlife on my property?

Residents are responsible for removing deceased wildlife from their property. Individual dead animals weighing less than 15 pounds can be placed in the household garbage.

According to King County, animals weighing more than 15 pounds (or large numbers of dead animals) should be taken to a rendering plant, veterinary clinic, animal shelter, or pet cemetery, or buried on the owner's property. If none of these methods are available, dead animals will be accepted at the Cedar Hills Landfill when accompanied by an approved Waste Clearance Decision Form.
