Creating a
Healthier Community

Drop off your unused or expired medication at the National Prescription Drug Take-Back event on Saturday, October 26th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Altoona Emergency Services building in Altoona or at the Eau Claire County Government Center in Eau Claire.

At the workshop, you’ll learn about opioids, local data, how to respond to an opioid overdose, how to safely store opioid medication, information on fentanyl and fentanyl test strips, and how to use Narcan (naloxone), a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose.

The Eau Claire County community can now use a new medication drop box to freely and easily dispose of their unwanted or expired medications. . The drop box is located in the lobby of the Eau Claire County Jail, 710 2nd Ave., Eau Claire and is available to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
