Animals under 35 pounds should be bagged and disposed of in the general trash for incineration.
Wild game carcasses (dressed, skinned, deboned, etc.) should be bagged and disposed of with the general trash for incineration.
Animals carcasses over 35 pounds will be accepted at the Waste to Energy Facility (2900 S. Geiger Blvd.) on a limited basis and will be accepted by appointment only. To schedule disposal of animal carcasses please call 509-625-6580.
Wildlife/vehicle contact is frequent and Spokane County will remove animal carcasses if they are on the public right-of-way. Only non-domestic animals will be removed (e.g.,Deer, raccoons, porcupines, and skunks are some examples of non-domestic animals). For domestic animal removal, please contact Spokane County Animal Control at 509-477-2532. During the winter, if the animals have been very recently killed, the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council may be interested in meat donations. In the summer months, the animal expires too quickly and the meat donations cannot be accepted for health safety reasons. The Inland Northwest Wildlife Council can be reached at 509-487-8552 for possible pickup.
Commercial animal carcass haulers, or anyone bringing an animal carcass over 35 pounds will be required to make an appointment for disposal. Appointments can be made by calling 509.625.6580.
