Who do I call for a dead animal in Canton, OH?
In Canton, public right-of-way carcasses are handled by whichever authority maintains that street; private property (yard, attic, walls, crawlspace) is homeowner-arranged.

Why Canton Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does
Canton anchors the 400,000-person Stark County metro, sitting at the southern edge of Northeast Ohio. The Tuscarawas River corridor + Sippo Lake Park + suburban-rural transition zones in Plain Township and Jackson Township create year-round raccoon/opossum pressure. Plain + Jackson (deer pressure from suburban-rural edge), Massillon (raccoon in older industrial-area housing), North Canton (opossum + skunk in landscaped yards) generate most Stark County wildlife calls. Ohio sees an average of roughly 18,800 deer-vehicle collisions statewide each year (ODOT), concentrated in the October-December rut — Stark County's I-77 corridor and rural-suburban township edges see a share of that seasonal spike.
Common species calls in greater Canton: Most-called species in greater Canton: raccoon (Massillon + older Canton housing), deer (Plain + Jackson Township suburban-rural edge, peak Oct-Dec rut), opossum + skunk (North Canton landscaped yards), squirrel (attic calls in mature neighborhoods).
Pickup jurisdiction in Canton: In the city pages (Streets, Sanitation rules and FAQs) and the Stark County Engineer page we reviewed, Canton publishes no clear dead-animal pickup policy, so who is responsible can depend on whether the carcass is on a city street, a county road, a state route or private property. ODOT handles state routes and I-77. Private property removal is the homeowner's responsibility — call a licensed wildlife operator. The Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne recycling district and the Stark County Health Department publish nothing about dead animals.
