Wisconsin ranks first in the nation for turning in the most unused medications on Drug Take Back Day.
The Department of Justice announced today that almost 57-thousand pounds of prescription medications were turned in during the spring collection day. In total, more than one-point-three-million pounds of drugs have been turned in since Drug Take Back Day started in 2010. The Drug Enforcement Administration organizes two official Take Back Days each year in the spring and fall, but unwanted prescriptions can be returned year-round at law enforcement offices, hospitals, and health clinics.
