Hundreds of law enforcement agencies are teaming up for 140 Drug Take Back Day events on Saturday. Attorney General Josh Kaul, law enforcement leaders, and health department officials raised awareness on Thursday at the Wauwatosa Police Department for the events happening on Oct. 28. A total of 270 law enforcement agencies will hold Drug Take Back Day events where Wisconsinites can dispose of unwanted and unused medications.Last spring, on Drug Take Back Day, 55,000 pounds worth of medication was collected.Those behind Drug Take Back Day say bringing your expired or unused medication to a designated location can protect you, your family, and the community. That's because those meds can find their way into the wrong hands."Many of the people who become addicted to prescription drugs first obtain those prescriptions through the diversion of those prescriptions," said Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. "Something as simple as a family member or a friend going into a medicine cabinet and taking something that wasn't prescribed to them can lead to substance use disorder. By ensuring that those medications aren't there to be taken when they're unused and unwanted, we can help keep our communities safe."It's also not advised to flush medications anymore, so a day for people to properly dispose of medications can help our plumbing system and waterways. "We have learned that that impacts the water supply," said Kaul. "Water reclamation facilities aren't able to filter out all of the medication, so you can help keep our water safe and clean by ensuring that these medications are safely disposed of rather than flushed down the water supply."To find a collection site participating on Saturday, click here.
