(WFRV) — Attorney General Josh Kaul released the latest numbers for the Drug Take Back Day held in October.
Wisconsin collected over 60,000 pounds of prescriptions and other drugs – the second largest in the nation.
This collection will keep the prescriptions and drugs from ending up in landfills or waterways.
Statewide, 280 law enforcement agencies hosted drug take-back events as well as the year-round drug disposal boxes at law enforcement agencies.
