Reporting and Disposing Dead Animals

• You can place small, dead animals (i.e., birds, squirrels, gophers, etc.) found on your private property in a bag for regular garbage pickup.
• Larger animals found on private property cannot be placed in the garbage. Call an animal removal company (NorCal Wildlife Removal, Critter Control) or bring the animals to the Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA 24/7 for disposal. Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA will pick up owned domestic animals for a fee, and they will pick up stray domestic animals for free.
• Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA will pick up any dead animals on the street for free.
