Do
you have old medications that you need to dispose of? If
so, do your part to keep our communities safe and clean by
participating in a Manitowoc County Drug Disposal Program.
Participants may bring unwanted drugs and medications to these
programs free of charge.
"Flushing unwanted medications down the toilet, or in the
trash, has added to the problem of medications in our water
supplies." - Northeast Recycling Council, Inc.
"Unused medications are being used inappropriately, stolen,
or ending up on the street." - Metro Drug Task Force
