Ashland, Bayfield and Price Counties
Now Offer Permanent
Medication Drop Boxes for Unused, Unwanted or Expired Medications
You no longer have to wait for a Medication Collection to
take place to properly dispose of your unused, unwanted or expired
medications. A new collaboration between Ashland, Bayfield and Price
Counties and the Northwest Regional Planning Commission will provide
permanent drop off sites for unused, unwanted or expired medications. All
county residents are encouraged to properly dispose of their medications. A
permanent drop-off location is now available in each county. The public is
able to bring their unused, unwanted or expired medications to the Bayfield
County Sheriff's Department and the Park Falls Police Department Monday
through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and the Ashland Police
Department and Price County Sheriff's Department 24 hours a day 7 days a
week. Collection and disposal of medication will be funded in part by a
grant from the Wisconsin Department of Trade, Agriculture and Consumer
Protection.
Through ongoing collection of unused, unwanted and
expired pharmaceuticals, the potential for poisoning and medication abuse
will be dramatically reduced in our communities. Law Enforcement partners
believe this will cut down on medication thefts and will slow the rapidly
growing problem of substance abuse in our communities. Waterways will also
be protected because there is no longer an excuse for flushing unused,
unwanted or expired medications down the drain.

Department.
