National Pharmaceutical Take-Back Initiative
Sponsored by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
Date: Saturday, April 28, 2012
Time: 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Location: Village of McFarland Community Room
The Village of McFarland Police Department is working in cooperation with the U.S. DEA in assisting with the National Take Back Initiative. This effort is focused on removing dangerous unused medications from our nation’s medicine cabinets.
On this date, anyone can come to drop off unused medications. This program is anonymous and no effort will be made to identify the individual disposing of medication.
There are a few restrictions to this program. No intra-venous solutions, injectibles, or syringes will be accepted. Also, no illicit substances will be collected. These can include items such as marijuana, cocaine or heroin.
Any questions can be directed to Detective Klementz or Officer Miller, McFarland Police Department, 838-3151.
Permanent Drug-Drop Receptacle to be placed in the McFarland Municipal Building
The McFarland Police Department, in conjunction with Safer Communities of Dane County, will be sponsoring a permanent drug-drop receptacle. The receptacle will be maintained by Police Department staff, and will be available for area residents to dispose of unwanted prescription medications during normal open hours of the municipal building.
The Department's hope is that citizens will utilize this service, and help to make a safer environment for our children. Access to unused prescription medications is a leading cause of serious injury and death to young children.
