Properly disposing of excess drugs is everyone’s responsibility as a matter of public safety. More than 70 percent of young people abusing prescription pain relievers get them through friends or family, a statistic that includes raiding the family medicine cabinet. Now Oconomowoc citizens won’t have to wait for a specific take-back day to clean out their medicine cabinets.
The Police Department will collect unwanted or expired household medication, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and unused pharmaceuticals. The Police Department will not collect Needles, Aerosol Cans, or Biohazard Waste.
Thank you to CVS/pharmacy for making this program available to our community.
