Wisconsin Collects The Most Drugs For Drug Takeback Day

Wisconsin collected more drugs than any other state during the most recent national Drug Takeback Day this spring, the third event in a row in which Wisconsin set the pace in collections. The Wisconsin Department of Justice says a total of over 55,000 pounds of unwanted medications were collected in the state during the event held on April 22nd. According to a report, that amount comes after Wisconsin also ranked first in the nation during last fall’s Drug Takeback Day with 54,040 pounds and first in last spring’s event with 59,000 pounds. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul thanked everyone who has worked to make the event a constant success over the years.
