Permanent Medication Drop Boxes
The La Crosse County Prevention Network Prescription Drug Subcommittee has coordinated community-wide drop-offs in La Crosse County since 2010!  Our periodic community-wide drop-offs have become an established and recognized event in our community thanks to the continuous efforts of the Prescription Drop Subcommittee members! Provision of permanent medication drop boxes are located at local law enforcement agencies throughout our county to enhance access for safe disposal of medications.  


Did You Know?
70% of people 12 and older who abuse prescription drugs get them from family or friends. Don't let that be YOU!! Learn how to PREVENT Prescription Drug Abuse with these simple steps: 

1. Store Safely - Keep your meds locked or protected, and know what you have!
2. Do Not Share - It is illegal to share!
3. Dispose Properly - Take advantage of local 
​resources for proper medication disposal
