We have a lot of preserved specimens that have seen much better days!
They are all in 50/50 metho and water.
My H.T. wants me to get rid of them.......what should I do with all the dead bodies?????
There's rats, snakes, frogs and all sorts of "bugs".

Thanks in anticipation.......

Where are you in NSW?

We're in Lake Macquarie, Labbie

Ours were collected with the chemical pick-up.

I'd love to think you could build a bonfire & burn them.

It would be fun, but not allowed...

Check your local Waste disposal. Small dead animals can be taken to the Tamworth Regional Waste centre for a $17 fee.

Oh, but the smell! Best to be up-wind of that one

Oh yes that does sound like fun! JOKING!

Hmmm wounder what they do in the AG plot when they find a dead chicken . .......probably bury it .

I seriously doubt they take it to the local waste station and pay to get ride of it.

I went to a boarding school, but I was a day student. The joke at school was that any animal found dead, or leftovers from dissections, went to the boarders' dining room. The food didn't have a good reputation.

Our neighbour is a farmer, and he disposes of small dead animals on a handy ants nest.

Not sure how they'd go with the ethanol.

mmmm might find me digging little graves around the property!!!!

I rang the local council and they were happy to take them off our hands. No charge!! The HT drove them (a car boot full of very smelly old yucky unspeakable things) and the blokes at the recycling centre were fascinated and wanted to put them on display. There's no accounting for taste!!

I could believe that at either Dorrigo or Religh Tip
