Carcass disposal

[alec2211]

As title, what's the correct way of disposing of a deer carcass? Can it be broken down and put in the bin like other food waste?

 

[nun_hunter]

skin and leg bones go in the bin with normal household rubbish and the rest the dog eats.

Bag I and put it in the household waste.

 

[nicowilson]

I break the carcass down, bag it in compostable bags and put it in the food waste.

Good for fox bait, if you know anybody who's foxing I'm sure they would take it off your hands.

Boil it up and pick the meat off for the dog.........

Its only legal to dispose off using conventional bins once it cooked

Best way is to dispose of what you don't want on land near where you shot it.

I bag up what I don't use and next time I am out I put the biodegradable / edable waste in a bit of rough ground near where the deer was shot

Just playing devil's advocate but what if you buy a leg of venison, bone it out yourself then what do you do with the bone? Are you saying you can't dispose of any raw meat or bones in your own bins but you can dump them on private ground somewhere? Surely that sounds round the wrong way?

Well I freeze them until I have enough to make a batch of stock... That said I put small bits in the food bin, big bits (spine, skulls, ribcage) in the main bin bags. I mean it happens very rarely, no-one cares. If I was disposing of a couple of carcasses every week that would be something else, but at that scale it doesn't matter, it's no different from binning trimmings from meat you bought at the butchers.

I have a mate who is the head H&S guy with the local Council. After a similar question on here recently I asked if it was ok for me to dispose of the carcass in the househols waste. His reply was that whilst it was perfectly acceptable to dispose of them, it would be better to bag them (I triple-bag anyway) and only one at a time.
I should imagine that other Councils may have differing regulations so don't take this as gospel.

I think if you need to dispose of more than one or two at a time it would be considered as 'commercial' waste, rather than domestic and you'd be charged for its disposal accordingly? I've never had to worry about that problem though. Nor, I suspect, will many other recreational stalkers. I've even disposed of the odd sheep carcass through the household waste with no problems. Bag it up well, and make sure there're no hooves/snouts/ears, etc poking out of the lid and all will be well

Is 33mph speeding in a 30 zone? Yes but its unlikely you will get knicked for it as they generaly allow 10% margin of error anyway

Is it illegal to dispose of raw meet produccts? In theroy yes but no ones going to get nicked throwing away an uncooked bone or that out of date gammon stake you forgot to cook

Throwing away a raw deer head, legs skin and skelliton is a diferent level of wrong as I believe its is in theory cat 2 / 3 waste

A friend did get a warning letter about a left over deer parts in a bin bag.

Again in theory we now have 18" square bins for food waste so shouldn't be putting food products in the big wheely bins any way

If like me you pass on meet to game dealers, your going to be registered as a food business so will defo get the sharp end of the pointy stick if you get caught.

Sorry, but can you tell me where it says its illegal to dispose of raw meat in your general waste dustbin? I fail to see how this is right, household waste is just that, waste generated by the house, which would surely include raw products being disposed of. Granted different kettle of fish to regularly dumping whole animal carcasses in ones bin but seriously, I find it hard to believe that 'technically' disposing of a chicken carcass in ones bin is not legal.....?

all mine get put in black liners then inside a rubble bag and tossed in the black bin,we only have green brown black blue so far maybe if we got a longer garden they would give us more of the bloody things,

dogs would eat the whole carcass, bones included.

No, these pigs live in Brittany. They live mostly on scraps. That said, they are pets, no-one's planning to eat them. Unless they ever grow too big. I suspect their demise is more likely to come from being "mistaken" for boar though.

You mean never fall out with him
