Who can take roadkill in Alaska?
The Alaska new Roadkill Salvage Program allows eligible organizations and groups to salvage roadkill animals in their areas after being notified by Troopers or other law enforcement agencies. Registered participants must respond within 30 minutes of notification and remove the entire animal from the roadway, then the participant can process the animal for consumption.
Alaska salvage teams and nonprofits can register at: https://dps.alaska.gov/AWT/Roadkill.
Requested information can now be easily submitted online and participants will be quickly notified if a salvageable animal is available in their area. Every year hundreds of moose and other animals are unfortunately killed on Alaska’s roadways; with the new Roadkill Salvage Program, Alaska will keep their roadways clean and help supply meat to Alaskans soup kitchens. Previously Alaskan law required all roadkill go to soup kitchens, the roadkill door has now opened to all Alaskan citizens.
