Who do I call for a dead animal in Evansville, IN?
In Evansville, public right-of-way carcasses are handled by whichever authority maintains that street; private property (yard, attic, walls, crawlspace) is homeowner-arranged.

Call (317) 451-8385.
Is dead animal removal free in Evansville?
Partly — and the split is what most people get wrong. Evansville Animal Control (812-435-6015) picks up dead, stray and wild animals as long as they are not on a state highway, and a pet that has died can be taken to the shelter at 815 Uhlhorn Street for a $5.00 disposal fee. Whether crews come onto private property is not stated on the city page. Anything on private property is the owner's responsibility, and that is the paid work we handle.

Why Evansville Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does
Evansville anchors the 315,000-person Tri-State metro (Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois) in Vanderburgh County, set on a bend of the Ohio River at Indiana's southwest corner. The Ohio River floodplain, Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve, Howell Wetlands, and Pigeon Creek create heavy raccoon, opossum, and deer pressure across the metro. I-69 and US-41 see fall deer-vehicle collisions, and the Newburgh, Darmstadt, and McCutchanville suburbs generate steady yard and attic carcass calls.
