MedDrop - Medication Disposal ProgramDo you have unused or expired medications in your medicine cabinet that you want to get rid of? Flushing medications down the toilet is not recommended. MedDrop is an organization that collects unused or expired medications and disposes of them for you.
The next MedDrop collection dates are June 5, 2010 and October 2, 2010 at several Dane County locations. Please visit MedDrop for details.
