GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Ahead of Saturday’s Drug Take-Back Day, officials are highlighting 110 events taking place around Wisconsin. Twice a year, the Department of Justice partners with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to collect unused, unwanted, or expired drugs. For the 10th time in a row, Wisconsin has led the nation in drug take-back, collecting 57,054 pounds in this past spring collection period. AG Kaul said this simple task can stop medications from falling into the hands of somebody who’s struggling with substance use disorder and has the potential to make a difference in the state’s efforts to fight addiction. “This misuse can lead to other illicit drug addictions. And this means that one of the solutions to fighting the opioid epidemic and drug addiction starts with safely disposing of unused and unwanted items in your medicine cabinet,” said Attorney General Josh Kaul. Participants are asked to clean out cabinets, not flush products, and bring them to their local no-questions-asked sites. You can find a list of drop boxes here.
