About
What this site is
A Washington reference for one narrow question, attached to a phone number for the cases where the answer turns out to be that nobody is coming.
Why it exists
Washington is unusual here, and not in the way people expect. There is a statewide rule, and it is clear: WAC 246-203-121 gives the property owner 72 hours to dispose of a dead animal and names no agency to help. What varies is everything underneath that. Seattle will collect a large carcass from your yard. Spokane County publishes that its road crews cannot come onto private property at all. Yakima tells you to call a wildlife control operator. The weight you may put in your own bin is 15 pounds in one county and 60 in another. All of it is current and all of it is official.
The area pages here exist to save you that hour. Each one was built by opening the agency's own page, quoting what it actually says, and recording the date it was read.
How it makes money
Washington Dead Animal Removal sells advertising and routes the calls that advertising brings in. It is neither a wildlife company nor a removal contractor. No carcass is collected, carried or disposed of under this name, and there is no premises, no vehicle, no field staff and no permit held behind it.
Where an independent operator covers an address, that operator does the work, sets the price and invoices the customer directly, and answers for their own insurance, permits and disposal route. The people who call are never charged by this site; the operators are.
What it does not claim
- No operator coverage is confirmed in any Washington county at present, and nothing here implies otherwise.
- No prices. With no routed operator, any figure here would be invented.
- No arrival window, no same-day guarantee, no round-the-clock claim.
- No licensing, insurance or certification claims of any kind. Washington does certify wildlife control operators, it issues that certification to individuals rather than to companies, and whether it reaches carcass-only work is unresolved in the rule text. None of that is a claim this site could make about anybody.
- No reviews and no rating, since nobody has been a customer yet to leave one.
When we say it is not your job
A fair share of calls turn out to belong to somebody else: a city street, a county road, a state highway, or a Seattle address where the city will collect it. Those get pointed at the right agency rather than converted into work. That is deliberate. Taking money for something a public agency would have done for nothing is not a business worth running, and it would not survive the first person who found out.
Corrections
Every factual claim on this site carries its source and the date it was read, and they are all listed at sources. Agencies change their pages. If something here is out of date or wrong, write to leads@washingtondeadanimalremoval.com and it will be fixed.
