You can clean out your medicine cabinets and help prevent the misuse of prescription drugs that could save lives. Door and Kewaunee County law enforcement agencies will participate again in the Drug Take-Back Day across Wisconsin.  The Wisconsin Department of Justice is working with local law enforcement to dispose of expired and unused drugs properly.

The Door County Sheriff’s Office will collect unused prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, non-aerosol sprays, inhalers, creams, vials, and pet medications for disposal. You can drop off old medications from noon until 3 p.m. Saturday at the BUG Fire Department in Brussels, the Sister Bay Fire stations, or the Door County Sheriff’s Office in Sturgeon Bay. Door County Chief Deputy Pat McCarty explained that this disposal method is better than throwing or flushing drugs in the trash.  

Both Door and Kewaunee County have drop boxes available for proper disposal year-round.   You can find more information on drop-off sites in Wisconsin here.
