Drug Take Back Event Canceled due to weather. Please visit one of our MedDrop sites to dispose of prescription medicine year round.

Too often, unused and unwanted medications find their way into the wrong hands. That’s dangerous and often tragic. Bringing unused and unwanted medications to a Drug Take Back Day collection site protects you, your family, and your community. The next Drug Take Back Day is April 30, 2022.

A total of 57,377 pounds of unused and unwanted medications were collected in Wisconsin during the last drug take back period that ended with the October 23, 2021, Drug Take Back Day. This was the largest collection in the United States.

Prescription and over-the-counter medications may be disposed of at Drug Take Back Day collection sites, including:

• Capsules
• Creams
• Inhalers
• Non-aerosol sprays
• Ointments
• Pills
• Patches
• Vials

Additional Information
