Cornell Begins Composting Deer Killed on Roads

October 4, 2007 - 11:00pm
By Alex Taylor

Up to 25,000 deer die annually on N.Y. State highways, and an estimated 70,000 per year on all the roads in the state combined. What do road maintenance crews do with all that road-kill?

If Cornell Waste Management Institute and the N.Y.S. Dept. of Transportation have it their way, road-kill deer will soon be composted. CWMI and NYSDOT are teaming up to offer five free workshops throughout the state to teach people how to safely compost deer killed by cars.

In general, “there aren’t a lot of options for getting rid of road-kill,” said Jean Bonhotal, senior extension associate of CWMI. Highway maintenance crews can bury the carcasses in pits, move them further off the road or take them to a landfill.
