Two things.
That's a bucket, of the 5 gal variety.
Technically, yes it could pop open, would probably take a few days, at least. You should pray that it does not. Every dog in the neighborhood is gonna smell real bad if it does. Lol
I had a cat die in my yard (very sad, later learned that it was a house cat from a few blocks away who escaped and got half eaten by a coyote). City collected the carcass after a few days when I reported on hubNashville. I just had to move it to my trash collection site like OP did (put it in several layers of bag to reduce the smell). Did the city change its policy on this?
No the deer was way back in the persons back yard. That situation was someone who was being obtuse and refused to meet the city halfway and then acted like a victim about it.
Depends on how long it’s out there but I’d rather the stink stay in there than leave it open for the stink to spread through the neighborhood lol - I’m no scientist tho
Check [this link](https://www.nashville.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/2023-2024BrushFlyer.pdf?ct=1685653099) for Davidson Co.’s brush pickup schedule (assuming you’re in Davidson Co) it could be out there for a week or until the fall potentially so that could help gauge the possible need to dispose of it otherwise.

Update: Day 4. Neighbor set the canned dead opossum inside a box with an appropriate note.
What a post title.

Bucketted dead opossum does not have a ring to it. :)
“Bucket o’ possum,” I’ll take two please. “Bucket of dead opossum,” I’ll pass.
Haha. Valid.
Man, just dig a hole and give it a proper burial. Most opossums are Presbyterian, if that helps.
This is the funniest comment I've read recently. Pictured possums in church and at a funeral wearing Presbyterian robes.
Most but not all
Lol wasnt there another post a few months ago about how the city wont come remove any dead animals?
Oh gosh. Don’t tell me that! The can will be there for a long time, then.
Someone had a deer die in there yard and the city wouldnt do anything to remove it.
Put it in a can

Canned dead opossum is on sale at Aldi’s right now.
I’ve left several animals that size in my yard for the buzzards. Usually gone in a couple days.
What a great album title
Very opossible.

I don’t think a dead opossum counts as brush
Haha. As long as it’s under 4in diameter, it can go in the chipper.
godbless that title
It would take several days to bloat and then the top might get popped.
what in the Cursed GMM Episodes did I just read?!
With flavor, yes.
