The dead animal removal encompasses only animals that obstruct traffic and are a hazard to the motoring public. For example, a dead deer in the center of a lane would be removed; a dead skunk in the center of the lane would not. To report a dead deer, please call the following: County Highways – (607) 535-2531 State Highways – (607) 535-4992 Town Roads – Please call the Town Highway Department involved. Note: The County Highway Department will have dead deer picked up, in the County right-of-way (typically 25’ from the centerline of the road), on County Roads only (see roads listed on “County Roads” link).

Only in very limited circumstances (in italics). If your mailbox is in the right-of-way, is in the way of the wing, or side blade of a snowplow, the wet heavy snow thrown from the wing can easily damage a mailbox. Make sure your mailbox is at least 18" from the edge of the shoulder, has a minimum clearance of 42" above the shoulder, and the front doesn't extend beyond the edge of the shoulder. Schuyler County will consider replacing a mailbox if driver error clearly caused the damage to the mailbox assembly.
