Who do I call for a dead animal in Newark, OH?
It depends on where the animal is. On a public street or city property, City of Newark: SeeClickFix report portal ('Roadkill') handles it. Call (740) 670-7500. On private property (your yard, attic, wall or crawlspace) no agency will collect it; that is the owner's responsibility. For private-property pickup in Newark, Ohio Dead Animal Removal routes calls by ZIP to an independent operator where one covers the address. Call (614) 412-5656. The price is quoted on the call.
Is dead animal removal free in Newark?
Newark takes dead-animal reports the same way it takes potholes: 'Roadkill' is one of the ten problem types on the city's SeeClickFix portal, and the Division of Streets (740-670-7734, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) is the crew that clears roadway obstructions. What the city does not publish is the other half, which crew removes a reported carcass, how fast, and whether a private lot is included, so a raccoon under your deck or a deer in the yard is where a paid operator comes in. Anything on private property is the owner's responsibility; calls route by ZIP where an operator covers the address.

Why Newark Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does
Newark is the Licking County seat, thirty-five miles east of Columbus at the point where the Licking River and Raccoon Creek meet. The county is the fastest-changing piece of Central Ohio: Intel's New Albany campus sits on its western edge in Jersey Township, Pataskala and Etna are filling in along the I-70 corridor, and the eastern half stays rural around Blackhand Gorge, Dillon and Buckeye Lake. That mix puts the North End's older housing and the tree-lined blocks near Denison in Granville in the raccoon-and-squirrel attic category, while the SR-16 expressway, SR-161 toward New Albany and I-70 at Hebron carry the county's deer-vehicle activity, heaviest in the October-to-December rut.
Newark's city directory lists 'Roadkill' among the problems residents report through the city's SeeClickFix portal, next to potholes and sidewalk damage, and the Division of Streets (1195 E. Main Street, 740-670-7734, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) lists roadway obstruction removal among its duties without naming dead animals. That is the whole published picture: the channel is verified, but which crew removes a reported carcass, how fast, and whether anything on a private lot is included are not. ODOT maintains SR-16, SR-13, SR-79 and I-70 outside the city limits; township roads belong to the townships and county roads to the county engineer, neither of which publishes a dead-animal policy. Private property is the owner's responsibility under Ohio's disposal rules.

What does dead animal removal cost in Newark?
Newark's older North End and downtown housing produces attic recoveries, which price above an open-yard pickup because of access and sanitizing; Buckeye Lake cottages add crawl-space and under-deck jobs; the SR-16 and I-70 corridors add large-animal work that needs a winch and a tarp. The operator quotes from the animal's size, where it is, how accessible it is and what disposal ORC 941.14 requires. No per-hour billing.
