WI Drug Take Back Day Sets Record

Wisconsin’s latest Drug Take Back Day took back a lot of drugs.

The state’s Department of Justice yesterday said this month’s Take Back Day netted over 55 thousand-pounds of unwanted prescription medicine. That’s the most ever, in any state in the United States. Wisconsin’s attorney general said taking that much unwanted medication off the streets simply makes the state a safer place. Since Drug Take Back Day began in 2010, Wisconsin has taken back more than a million-pounds of medication. That puts Wisconsin third in the nation behind only Texas and California. Wisconsin’s next Drug Take Back Day is scheduled for October.
