FREE Milorganite at Medicine Collection Day, April 27th at Miller Park

From the inbox:
Safely dispose unused medicine at Miller Park on April 27th and keep it out of Lake Michigan and from people who abuse prescription drugs.  It's all part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

While supplies last, people dropping off unused medicine will receive a free five-pound bag of Milorganite®, fertilizer made in Milwaukee since 1926.

Medicine Collection efforts have removed more than 18 tons of unused medicine in Milwaukee County since 2006.  The Milwaukee Police Department is providing officers for the event.

Never flush or pour unused medicines down the drain.  Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove everything and the drugs can end up getting into Lake Michigan.

  1. I still think Milorganite needs the marketing slogan "From our home to yours."
