How to dispose of a dead opossum?
My brother just told me we had one in our backyard couple of days before I came back. He's not sure for how long it has been there, because by the time he saw it, it was already hard as a stone. But, in this Texas heat, it could have lost all moisture in a day.
He picked it up with a shovel, stuck it in two plastic bags, and then threw the bags in our garbage can. This was on Saturday. The smell was still horrible when I arrived Monday evening and we had to close the garage doors as soon as we park in so that the smell doesn't get into the house. Finally the trash was collected yesterday.
Is there some agency that deals with dead wild animals we could call if something like this happens again?

The city can take it but it has to be on the street. So next time just move it to the road.
