Large animals shall be taken to a rendering plant, or a veterinary clinic, or property owners may bury animals on their property so long as no nuisance is created. i.e. (high water table or insufficient depth of soil so as not to completely cover the animal thereby allowing scavenging to take place). Small animals shall be taken to a veterinary clinic, an animal shelter, buried on site, or can be disposed of at transfer stations (double bagged) so as not to create a nuisance. c. Agricultural Waste. Agricultural waste shall be regulated pursuant to Chapter 70.95 RCW. d. Pet Feces.
