The Wisconsin Poison Center often gets questions about how to safely get rid of unused or expired meds. Proper disposal helps prevent poisonings and protects our environment.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has information and maps of where to find permanent drop-off sites and drug take back events near you!

In-Home Medication Disposal Options
There are also options for in-home medication disposal. By disposing of unused or expired medications, families can reduce the risk of misuse, accidental poisoning, and diversion while helping create healthier homes, stronger communities, and a cleaner environment.
