โขโฏ Using a Drug Free Communities Support Program grant from
SAMSHA, the ATOD purchased six MedReturn Drug
Collection Units for placement in various law enforcement
agencies throughout Ozaukee County, WI.
โขโฏ Locations include police departments in Mequon, Thiensville,
Port Washington, Saukville and Grafton. The Ozaukee
County Sheriffโs Department also has a unit.
โขโฏ Named the OzMed Drop Project, this program offers year round prescription
drug collection through local law enforcement agencies for the convenience
of their residents and their health and safety, especially the youth in the
community.

collaborating law enforcement agency.

โWe are grateful for the enthusiasm and cooperation the public and our community
police departments have demonstrated for the OzMedDrop Project. It has exceeded
all expectations. We feel confident that this ongoing effort will reduce risks for our
youth and our environment.โ

โAs the commander of the Ozaukee County Sheriffโs
Departmentโs Anti Drug Task Force I have found that the abuse
of prescription medications has become one of the top two
drug abuse problems in Ozaukee County. Prescription drug
abuse is often a precursor to heroin abuse. The deadly
combination of prescription medication and heroin overdoses
are destroying the lives and families of too many Ozaukee
County residents.
The program effectively allows families an environmental
friendly option in disposing of unused medications in a timely
fashion. It assures that family members, friends or other guest
who may be an addict donโt have an opportunity to get their
hands on unused prescription medications.
From my perspective if the take back program can prevent
even one tragic overdose death then it will have been worth it.โ
Lt. Rodney Galbraith, Ozaukee County (WI) Sheriff's
Department, Detective Bureau/Drug Unit

โThis will certainly help get rid of unused and expired prescriptions
and put them out of reach of young people. However we hope this
effort is duplicated throughout the region so even more people can
afford themselves of the opportunity to properly dispose of these
prescriptions on any given day.โ

Communities Healthy Youth Coalition, Bucks County, PA

Kennebec County, ME
Prescription drug drop boxes have been placed in 12 locations throughout Kennebec
County to properly dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs.
"Prescription drugs have been a big issue, and there have not been any permanent
ways for people to get rid of them. Consequently ... people keep them in their cabinets
where they're accessible to people who shouldn't get them."
Nancy Findlan, prevention director for Greater Waterville (ME) Communities
