Good Morning!

Last April, Wisconsin collected a record-breaking 66,830 pounds of unwanted prescription medication. That's 66,830 pounds of medication that did not get into the wrong hands and did not contaminate our water supply. “More than two thirds of people who have abused prescription painkillers got them illegally from a friend or family member,” said Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel. 
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. 
Help us break another record! Join us this Saturday, for Drug Take-Back Day!

Guidelines:  
Bring: Prescription (controlled and non-controlled) and over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, inhalers, non-aerosol sprays, creams, vials and pet medications.
