WISCONSIN - The Wisconsin Department of Justice announced that Wisconsin ranked number two throughout the country for the most prescription medications collected during the spring 2024 Drug Take Back. Wisconsin collected 55,122 lbs. of unwanted medications this spring.  While Drug Take Back Day technically only happens twice a year, any day can be Drug Take Back Day at one of Wisconsin’s permanent drug disposal boxes. These boxes are accessible year-round at law enforcement agencies, hospitals, pharmacies and health clinics.  In Iron County there is a box located at the Iron County Courthouse in Hurley and the Marshfield Clinic in Mercer.
