Wisconsin – Drug Take Back Day – April 20 – 25, 2026 I don't know about you, but in our house, we seem to accumulate a lot of expired and unused drugs for a variety of reasons.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is sponsoring a Drug Take Back Day starting April 20th.

It's the start of Earth Week, and one of the ways you can help Mother Earth is to dispose of any unused medications the proper way. Its Drug Take Back Day this week--> #Wisconsin #DrugTakeBackDay #WisconsinDepartmentofHealthServices #EarthDay #OTCmeds #PrescriptionMedication #WisconsinConsumer
