Medication Drop Box Program
The Edgar Police Department is proud to partner with other local departments through a county-wide program that gives residents a safe and convenient way to dispose of unused or expired medications—including prescription narcotics. Proper disposal helps keep our community safe and ensures medications don’t end up in our landfills or water supply.
Along with Edgar PD, departments in Everest Metro, Wausau, Marathon City, Colby-Abbotsford, and Rothschild are also hosting drop boxes for public use.
