Landfills Taking Animal Carcasses

The following is a list of landfills in Nebraska, because the amount of mortalities that can be accepted may be limited based on the amount and type of waste they are receiving at a given time these facilities should be contacted directly to determine if they will take carcasses. Hauling carcasses to a landfill by a licensed carrier/renderer in a sealed truck is typically required. However, this requirement has currently been waived as a result of the large scale disaster in March 2019. For more, information contact NDEQ Waste Management Section: (402) 471-4210.

This information is provided in an effort to aid people in need of disposing of animal carcasses. If you offer services and would like to be added to the list or if you find an error with this information, please contact us using the "Email Us" button in the bottom right corner of this page.
