For the City Times

WOOD COUNTY – On Oct. 23, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Wisconsin Department of Justice are sponsoring a prescription drug takeback event throughout Wisconsin.

“Takeback events provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of medications.  Remember to never flush or drain unused/expired prescription medications. These substances can contaminate our water supply if not disposed of properly,” a Wood County Health Department press release stated.

“Those who participate at Wood County events may receive a coupon for coffee or a free Powers Bluff County Park winter recreation tow line or trail user pass (tubing, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, fat tire biking). Parents/guardians, grandparents, and other adults who spend time with youth are especially encouraged to participate in an effort to prevent prescriptions drugs from being taken and misused.”

Local law enforcement, in collaboration with Healthy People Wood County AOD Prevention Partnership and Marshfield Area Coalition for Youth are participating in events at the following Wood County locations: Pick ‘n Save, Wisconsin Rapids Location, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.; Pittsville Police Department, 9 a.m. – noon; Port Edwards Fire Department, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.; Marshfield City Hall, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.; Nekoosa Court, 8-11 a.m.; and the Rome Police Department, Adams County, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
