Nearly four hundred pounds of unused and outdated prescription drugs were collected by the Door County Sheriff’s Department last Saturday. The Door County Sheriff’s Department sponsored the “Drug Take-Back Day” at three locations for four hours. Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says the overall collection of drugs on Saturday was substantial.

McCarty says the safe disposal method allows the state to dispose of the medicines and assure they do not harm the environment or fall into the wrong hands. You can drop off unused drugs anytime during the day Monday through Friday at the main lobby at the Door County Sheriff’s Office on Duluth Avenue in Sturgeon Bay.
