Wisconsin DOJ hosts statewide Drug Take Back day on Saturday
The DOJ is again hosting a statewide drug take back day on Saturday, April 24th.
“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 Josh Kaul.
Kaul this week said more than 90-thousand pounds of unused drugs were collected last year, outpacing larger states like California and Texas.
