Who picks up dead animals in Greensboro, NC?
In Greensboro, public right-of-way carcasses are handled by whichever authority maintains that street; private property (yard, attic, walls, crawlspace) is homeowner-arranged. North Carolina Dead Animal Removal connects Greensboro homeowners with independent wildlife operators for pickup. The operator quotes on the call from size, location, access and disposal. Call (919) 642-1013.
Why Greensboro Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does
Greensboro anchors the eastern half of the Piedmont Triad in Guilford County. The city's watershed lake system — Lake Brandt, Lake Townsend, Lake Higgins — plus the Bog Garden and the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park greenbelt keep a permanent wildlife corridor running through developed neighborhoods. That produces sustained raccoon and opossum pressure in Irving Park, Fisher Park, Sunset Hills, and Lake Jeanette, and it concentrates deer-vehicle activity along I-40, I-85, and the Greensboro Urban Loop.
Common species calls in greater Greensboro: Most-called species in Greensboro: raccoon (lake and greenbelt corridors), squirrel (mature-canopy neighborhoods), opossum, deer (I-40/I-85/Urban Loop, peak Oct–Dec), and domestic cat.
Pickup jurisdiction in Greensboro: Greensboro lists Dead Animal Pickup as a Solid Waste & Recycling Department service (336-373-2489); Guilford County Animal Services' page does not address carcasses.

On private property, disposal is the owner's responsibility; NCWRC does not remove dead animals.
