MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – More than 290 law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin will be taking part in Drug Take Back Day on April 24.
Drug Take Back Day provides a safe and convenient way to dispose of unused or expired medications.
“Last year, Wisconsin’s Drug Take Back led the nation, and Wisconsinites can help our state remain a national leader in this important effort to fight prescription painkiller abuse. By bringing your unused and unwanted medications to a drug disposal box, you can help prevent the misuse of prescription drugs,” said Attorney General Kaul.

Officials say unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured down the drain. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all of them, and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals are showing up in rivers and lakes.
