On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) will coordinate a Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative throughout Wisconsin. The Prescription Drug Take-Back Day goal is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal of prescription medications, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications. Unused prescription medications in homes create a public health and safety concern, because they can be accidentally ingested, stolen, misused, and abused.
In coordination with the Brown County Drug Task Force and the WI Department of Justice, the Village of Allouez will be accepting unused/unwanted prescriptions and over the counter medications for proper disposal.
When: Saturday, April 27th, 8:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M.
Where: Allouez Village Hall, 1900 Libal St, Green Bay, WI 54301
Where: Allouez Village Hall, 1900 Libal St, Green Bay, WI 54301
