The City of Monona announced on April 16 that the Spring National Drug Take Back Day will take place on Saturday, April 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will be held at the new Forward Pharmacy location at 5711 Monona Drive, previously known as Ultimate Spa and Salon.
The initiative allows residents to safely dispose of expired or unused prescription and non-prescription medications. Organizers say this effort helps prevent misuse of medications and supports community safety by ensuring proper disposal.
According to the announcement, there is no cost for participation in the Drug Take Back event. Residents are encouraged to bring any unwanted medicines during the scheduled hours.
Forward Pharmacy is hosting the collection at its new site on Monona Drive. City officials have provided additional contact information for those seeking more details about the program.
Events like these are part of broader efforts across communities to reduce risks associated with improper medication storage and disposal. Properly discarding unused drugs can help limit accidental poisonings and reduce environmental impacts.
