Dead Animal Removal:

The Public Works Department can only report dead animals on the roadside to Gwinnett County. We do not have the proper equipment or an incinerator to handle this task. The County follows a schedule for pick-up and consequently, animals may stay for a few days before they are removed. Thanks for your patience.
