Join the Verona Police Department for a Prescription Drug Takeback Event, held in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This initiative offers a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired medications, helping to protect our community and the environment.
