Adams County, WI – Residents will have the opportunity to safely dispose of unused or expired medications this Saturday, October 25, during the Adams County Sheriff’s Office Drug Take Back Day. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and aims to prevent misuse of prescription drugs while protecting the environment from improper disposal.
According to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, participants are asked to place pills in a clear, sealable bag, while keeping liquids, creams, powders, and inhalers in their original containers. Personal information should be removed from prescription bottles before recycling.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasizes that certain items will not be accepted, including radioactive chemo drugs, lotions, needles or syringes, IV bags, vapes, and vitamins.
For residents unable to attend Saturday’s event, the Sheriff’s Office lobby remains open 24/7 for safe medication disposal, and additional drop-off locations are available throughout Adams County.
The initiative is part of the national Drug Take Back Day, a DEA-supported program designed to reduce prescription drug abuse and keep homes and communities safer.
