On April 26, 2025, the Verona Police Department will host a Prescription Drug Take-Back event in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The event focuses on safely disposing of potentially dangerous pharmaceutical substances and preventing them from entering our water supply. Please empty all pills into a plastic baggie before the event to facilitate disposal. Prescription liquids and creams must be in their original packaging.
Our goal is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs while also educating the public about the potential for abuse of these medications. You should never flush unused or expired medicine down the toilet or pour them down the drain. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all pharmaceuticals, and trace amounts of these substances are showing up in rivers and lakes worldwide.
Bring: Prescription (controlled and non-controlled) and over-the-counter medications, ointments, non-pressurized inhalers, patches, non-aerosol sprays, creams, vials, and pet medications.
Do Not Bring: Illegal drugs, needles/sharps, mercury thermometers, aerosol cans, bio-hazardous materials (anything containing a bodily fluid or blood), personal care products (shampoo, soaps, lotions, sunscreens, etc.), household hazardous waste (paint, pesticides, chemicals, oil, or gas) or acids. Non-prescription personal hygiene products cannot be accepted.
This program is anonymous, and all efforts will be made to protect the anonymity of individuals disposing of medications. No questions or requests for identification will be made.
