AG Kaul discusses Drug Take Back Day in Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsinites are encouraged to dispose of unwanted and unused medications at Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 24.
Over 290 local law enforcement agencies will be participating in Drug Take Back Day across the state, Attorney General Josh Kaul announced Monday. 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.

Unused prescription drugs can be dangerous when left around the house, tossed in the trash or sent down the drain, and according to Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, some like opioids become diverted and sustain the problem of addiction. All that can be avoided with proper disposal, such as that provided by the Healthy Sheboygan County 2020 Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 24th.
The event will be conducted between 10 AM and 1 PM that day at Generations in Plymouth, the Random Lake Fire Department, and at HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan.
Waste pharmaceuticals must be generated by households only, and can include both prescriptions and OTC medications whether for people or pets. Ointments, patches, inhalers, non-aerosol sprays, creams and vials will be accepted and should be in their original containers.
