Is there a roadkill cleanup hotline to call?

Submitted by Citizenchimp t3_10ougk6 in springfieldMO

On Friday night, a deer was hit near our driveway and the body has been laying, bloodied, by the roadside since then. I did a very basic Google search, and found a couple paid roadkill companies, and a Greene county animal control number, but the automated menu didn’t provide much help. Since it’s the weekend, no one answered when I opted to speak to operator.

Does anyone have any experience with calling the city to remove a large, and soon to be rotting animal corpse inside the city limits?

417-864-1010 is the Citizen Resource Center for anything affecting City property. They can connect you with the right person at Animal Control.

Find a local vulture culture group, maybe they'll take it off your hands and make a neat little lamp out of it

When I hit a deer in city limits I called the non-emergency police line. They dispatched an officer who then called another agency who I believe was with the department of conservation. The deer was gonna be processed and donated to a food panty. It's probably too late for your deer though.

State road crews usually take care of dead animal clean up.
