WHY TAKE BACK YOUR UNUSED MEDICATIONS?
70% of opioid addictions start at home – very often from unused medicine that is left in medicine cabinets.
Flushing unused medicine down the toilet or placing it in the trash only sends it to Lake Michigan and our waterways – the source of our drinking water – because waste treatment systems are not designed to break down medicine.
There’s only one safe way to dispose of unused prescription medications: at a drug take back site.
Luckily, that's never been easier for Southeastern Wisconsin residents. On any day of the year, you can use a free drop box or free, postage-free envelope to responsibly dispose of your unused medications. Visit our home page to see a map of the secure drug take back locations and envelope providers in Milwaukee and Racine Counties.
Take back your meds today and save the life of someone you love.
