Delainie Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just wondering if anyone knows how long it should take for council to collect dead fox from front garden?First I was told I would be charged ?48, then told it's free, then told it would be collected within 4 hours, then she said within 24 hours, it's not very pleasant and if I had space to bury it I would. Now I'm thinking it's going to be in the garden all night. Tried ringing got cut of, been now on hold for 20 minutes.

KidKruger Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 any chance of sticking it in a sturdy bin liner / builders bag (you can try and do it the way people use doggy bags so you touch the animal as little as possible), so you can store it perhaps in one of your bins until council can collect.

Seabag Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Any updates on the Fox situation ? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/160667-dead-fox-council-collection/#findComment-1158905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim1234 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I know it's not very nice, but maybe just put it in the bin. Poor thing is already dead and I for one certainly wouldn't judge.Best of luck...

sorchamr Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I was told by a very helpful person in Southwark that if a fox is in your garden you have to pay for disposal or if it happen to have enough life left in it and moves on to the public highway then it is for the council to remove. Needless to say the fox at in our back garden managed to get out on to the street......very helpful advice Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/160667-dead-fox-council-collection/#findComment-1159291 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delainie Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks everyone, I did put fox into 2 heavy duty bags and placed in front garden. They did collect him/her. It is correct that there is a ?48 charge. Now I know for future reference any poor fox I find dead in my garden will find its way to the gutter I'm afraid, though hope to not find another one. it was a shock and I'm sure my dog and cats sniffed around it before I found it. Not a nice experience . Thanks all. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/160667-dead-fox-council-collection/#findComment-1159320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
