“Drug Take Back Day is about prevention,” said Attorney General Josh Kaul. “Please help with the fight
against addiction by disposing of your unused and unwanted medications at a Drug Take Back event this
Saturday or at a permanent drug drop box.”
This effort will continue to bring focus to the issue of prescription painkiller abuse in Wisconsin. Drug
Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the
community about the potential abuse and consequences of improper storage and disposal of these
medications. Find your nearest drug disposal location: http://www.doseofrealitywi.gov
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.
GUIDELINES:
All waste pharmaceuticals must be generated by a household – no businesses are allowed.
Bring: Prescription (controlled and non-controlled) and over-the-counter medications, ointments,
patches, inhalers, non-aerosol sprays, creams, vials and pet medications. Vape pens or other e-cigarette
devices (batteries removed).
Do Not Bring: Illegal drugs, needles/sharps, acids, aerosol cans, bio-hazardous materials (anything
containing a bodily fluid or blood), personal care products (shampoo, soaps, lotions, and sunscreens),
household hazardous waste (paint, pesticides, oil, gas) and mercury thermometers.
• Participants may dispose of solid, non-liquid medication(s) by removing the medication from its
container and disposing of it directly into a disposal box or into a clear sealable plastic bag. Plastic
pill containers should not be collected. Blister packages without the medications being removed
are acceptable.
• Liquids will be accepted during this initiative. However, the liquids, creams and sprays must be in
their original packaging. Liquids without the original packaging will not be accepted.
• Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative and should
