NORTHEAST WI, (WTAQ-WLUK) – The Wisconsin Department of Justice held another prescription drug take-back event throughout the state Saturday.
This is a chance for and reminder for people with unused prescriptions to drop them off at their local police and sheriff’s departments in an effort to prevent prescription drug abuse.
More than 277 local law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin took part in the event.
Unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured down the drain as trace amounts of pharmaceuticals are showing up in rivers and lakes.
Many locations throughout the state will accept unwanted prescriptions all year.
