Drug Disposal Programs 2012

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 Commander
