Arden Hills is home to many wild <br />animals, including fox, coyote, <br />turkeys, deer and more. Below are <br />a few things to know about dealing <br />with wildlife. <br />If you encounter dead animals, <br />do not put them in your trash or <br />recycling bins. Instead, bring dead <br />animals to one of the disposal <br />companies listed below. Call to <br />verify items accepted, hours and <br />fees. The City of Arden Hills Public <br />Works Department does not pick <br />up dead animals from residential <br />properties. <br />Burnsville Landfill (Waste <br />Management) <br />952-890-3248 <br />2650 Cliff Road West <br />Burnsville <br />Elk River Landfill <br />763-441-2464 <br />22460 Highway 169 NW <br />Elk River <br />Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill <br />651-457-2778 <br />2495 East 117th Street <br />Inver Grove Heights <br />Ramsey County Animal Control <br />will not remove wild animals from <br />your property, but they will respond <br />to public safety incidents involving <br />injured or dangerous wildlife. They <br />deal primarily with domestic pet <br />issues, not wildlife. Contact them at <br />9-1-1 for such problems as animal <br />ordinance violations, stray and <br />dangerous dogs and animal bites. <br />If you see road kill, like deer <br />carcasses, call the road authority <br />that has immediate responsibility: <br />• For interstates, U.S. and <br />state highways, contact the <br />Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation. <br />• For county roads, contact <br />Ramsey County Public Works. <br />• For city roads and streets, <br />contact Arden Hills Public <br />Works. <br />The property owner is responsible <br />for the disposal of the animal <br />carcass on private property. Do not <br />place a carcass in the trash, drop it <br />at a transfer station, dispose of it <br />at a rendering plant, or leave it to <br />decay. Call a landfill for disposal. <br />If you are having problems with <br />nuisance animals such as raccoons <br />in your garbage or bats in the attic, <br />it is recommended that you contact <br />a licensed professional pest control <br />company. In Arden Hills, you are <br />restricted to trapping animals only, <br />not to killing them. Do not take live <br />animals to another area to release as <br />this may spread disease. <br />If you find a sick, injured or <br />orphaned wild animal, please <br />contact the Ramsey County Animal <br />Control by calling 9-1-1. A deputy <br />or Animal Control Officer will <br />respond to address the problem. <br />Injured small wildlife determined <br />to have a chance of survival are <br />brought to the Minnesota Wildlife <br />Rehab Center in Roseville. Severely <br />injured deer and wildlife will be <br />euthanized. The Minnesota Humane <br />Society website has information <br />about caring for injured or orphaned <br />birds, deer, rabbits, raccoons and <br />squirrels. Visit www.mnhumane. <br />org. <br />Visit the City of Arden Hills <br />website at cityofardenhills.org for <br />information on dealing with geese, <br />nuisance animals or urban coyotes. <br />Thieves continue to find easy <br />pickings in several of our <br />neighborhoods this summer. A <br />common theme in the reports <br />are unlocked cars with valuables <br />left inside parked on the street or <br />driveway. <br />Even if you are parked in front <br />of your house, in your driveway <br />or inside your garage, lock your <br />doors. Criminals like to walk <br />down the street <br />and see if a car is <br />unlocked. If it is, they <br />open the door and take <br />whatever is visible <br />and move on to the <br />next target. However, <br />if the door is locked, <br />they are more likely to <br />move on. Reminder: <br />Don’t leave any <br />valuables in your <br />vehicle. <br />Unlocked Vehicles are Easy Targets <br />Coexisting With Wildlife: Dealing with Wild, Abandoned, Injured and Other Animals
