Deceased Animal
The Bureau of Sanitation collects dead animals free of charge, except for horses and cows. (For horses and cows, please check your local yellow pages for a rendering service.) Please call 1-800-773-2489, from Monday through Saturday, between 7:30a.m. and 4:45p.m. For after hours and Sundays, please dial 3-1-1 on your home phone.
To make a request for Dead Animal Collection, you must provide:
Address or Location of Animal
Telephone Number
Collectors may enter the home, garage or backyard to retrieve animals, but will not climb or crawl into tight places. Animal is removed as soon as possible.
Los Angeles County Public Heath needs your help to keep track of disease carried by birds and squirrels. If you see a dead bird (except pigeons) or a dead tree squirrel, please follow the instructions of the County. Click here for more information.
