Dead animals (domestic, pet, zoo, circus and, under certain circumstances, wild animals) and certain waste of animal origin, such as slaughterhouse waste or leftovers from restaurants or canteen kitchens, must be disposed of properly.

The harmless disposal of these animal carcasses and waste is an important part of animal disease control and public health care and is carried out by the respective commissioned companies. Only through effective treatment is it possible to render harmless identified or unidentified pathogens of diseases in animal bodies or their parts. Therefore, dead animals and certain animal parts must be properly disposed of in a specialized carcass disposal facility. Kitchen and food waste from gastronomy and canteen kitchens that contains animal components (e.g. leftover meat, sausages) are also subject to statutory disposal, which is uniformly regulated throughout Europe.

Dead animals definitely do not belong in the bio bin or on the compost.

If you have your own property and it is not in a water catchment area, you may bury your pet on your property. The animal's body must be covered by a layer of earth at least 50 cm thick.
