Game Carcass Disposal<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> law allows cleaned game carcasses and waste from home meat processing to be disposed of alongside other<br />
household garbage.<br />
Carcasses must have the recoverable meat and entrails removed, but the carcass can include bones and meat<br />
scraps. Simply place the remains in a garbage bag and put it in the garbage can.<br />
Dumping a carcass in a road ditch or public parking lot is considered littering and subject to enforcement. Questions?<br />
Contact the local landfill or solid waste agency.<br />
