Spring Cleaning Drug Drop In Ripon
11 April 2019 News
The coordinator of the Drug Free Communities of Fond du Lac County is encouraging elderly Ripon residents to take advantage of a special one-day drop off program for unused and expired prescription medications. Ellen Sorensen says they will have one-hour drop off times at the Ripon Senior Center, Russell Manor and Willowbrook next Wednesday. “Chief Wallner* came up this idea a couple of years ago because both Russell Manor and Willowbrook are high concentrations of people who live together, but may not have the mobility that a lot of folks have and the Senior Center is a nice gathering place for folks.” Times for the drop off are 10 to 11 am that morning at the Senior Center, 12:30 to 1:30 that afternoon at Russel Manor and 2 to 3 pm at Willowbrook. Sorensen says it’s a way of getting rid of unused drugs that others may be tempted to steal and also safely disposes of them without affecting the environment.
