Found a dead raccoon or possum in the yard how do we dispose it?

We live in plantation florida are they any city ordinance we have to look for?Found a dead raccoon or possum in the yard how do we dispose it?
people are paranoid about rabies/other diseases. I'd call Animal Control and check with them, they'll probably dispose of it for you.Found a dead raccoon or possum in the yard how do we dispose it?
You should call your local animal control facility / waste disposal facility - they usually have a service that will pick up dead animals. I wouldn't touch it myself!
Call animal control. They carry a wide-variety of diseases including rabies!!!
well sometimes my cat will bring us birds she caught. So wut we would do is u might want to get gloves on then dispose of it in a trash can
dig a deep hole and bury it. If it's a shallow hole a dog may come along and dig it back up... Can't you tell the difference between a raccoon and a possum?
put in trash or call human society
look in the phonebook for animal control or disposal, and they should be able to take care of it!!!
animal control, our your township.
its body will discinigrate slowly..let it go
put it in you neighbor's mailbox
You should bury it...
pick it up with ashovel, and put it in your neighbors yard---
if you call animal control it will cost $40... if I were you I wound get some brave person to do it for me and pay them $10
contact your local animal control agency or wildlife department. they could tell you the procedures you need to follow, or better yet, one of them may be able to respond and pick it up for you.





it also depends if there's been any exposure, meaning did your dog/cat kill it? did it bite anybody or animal? this way they know if they need to test if for rabies or not ....





if either of them feel the need not to respond you could bury it about 3-4feet deep (think of the smell) or triple bag it and place it in the garbage can (with summer, it might be best to wait til your garbage day rolls around???)





good luck :)
Just bury it.
I would imagine you can just throw it in the garbage - or dig a hole and bury it in your yard.
I've never found a dead racoon or possum, but I did find a dead squirrel. It was awful! A bike ran at him by accident. Any way, I suggest that you call Animal Control or to bury it.
shovel into garbage bag
bury it whrer it lies it will dry up and make fertiler for the backyard
regardless of the city ordinance dig a hole and throw it in. The only reason to notify authorities is if perhaps you were dealing with dead birds which may carry infectious diseases such as west nile. Otherwise, if it is a possum or a raccoon it goes in a hole.
Most places you can dig a hole and bury it or take it to your local dump. A vet would know. Where I live the vets all take the dead animals to the dump/transfer station. You could also probably call animal control and they would just come pick it up for you and you wouldn't have to do anything.
call animal control
you pick it up with a shovel and throw it in a swamp or somthing
