How will euthanized pets be disposed of?
The current practice is to dispose of deceased animals in the landfill. There is a city policy directive to significantly reduce the amount of material entering the landfill. This is an issue for consideration as we develop long term plans for animal services. No decision has been made at this time to include a cremation unit on the HHSD Campus. There is space designated in the equipment area in the design of the new Animal Services Center to allow for the option of including a cremation unit on site.
