With Saturday being National Drug Take Back Day, both Door and Kewaunee County’s Sheriff Departments will be giving residents a chance to clean out their medicine cabinets. Door County residents will be able to stop by Brussels-Union Gardner Fire, Sister Bay-Liberty Grove Fire, or the Door County Sheriff’s Department from 1:00 to 3:00 PM on Saturday to dispose of unused painkillers. This is an effort to keep unused drugs out of people’s homes and off of streets. Door County Chief Deputy Pat McCarty explained that this disposal method beats others like throwing drugs in the trash or flushing them. 

Both Door and Kewaunee County have drop boxes available for proper disposal year-round.
