MedDrop
The Best Place to Get Rid of Medicines

Unwanted, unused prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines can be found in every household in the county. We know that it’s not safe to keep unneeded medicines in the house – children and others can accidentally take them.

But you’ve also heard that you shouldn’t flush medicines down the toilet or put them in the trash. We now know that these medicines are bad for our environment – our water, our lakes and the animals in them.

So... how should you get rid of your medicines?

Bring your unneeded medicine to MedDrop. This free service is available to all Wisconsin residents.

MedDrop 2 a Success!
More than 800 Dane County residents, arriving by car, bikes and motorcycles, delivered over 1,600 pounds of medications to the second MedDrop collection held on June 7. These medications were taken to a hazardous waste facility that specializes in environmentally safe pharmaceutical waste disposal.

MedDrop 3 – Fall 2008
Plans are already underway for the third MedDrop to be held in October 2008.
