Mission Statement 

To promote the collection and disposal of unused/unwanted drugs in a safe and approved manner. This will keep harmful effects of drugs out of ground water, surface water and municipal water systems in Michigan and the Great Lakes region.

Celebrate the wonderful water resources of our State and region! Our streams, rivers, inland lakes and the Great Lakes are treasured resources. They also supply us with our source for drinking water-whether through municipal water systems or ground water. Every time we get a drink of water, catch a fish or simply contemplate the beautiful blue of  the lakes we should be reminded to do all we can to keep our water clean.

One of the easiest and most important things we can do to
help keep your water clean and improve our environment
is to keep unused/unwanted drugs from entering our water.
What can I do?  
#1 Do not flush or dump drugs down your drain.
#2 Look into community drug collection programs to take unused/unwanted medications for proper disposal.
#3 Help spread the word about the importance of keeping harmful drugs out of our water.
(see get involved page) 
#4 Keep watching this site for more information about drug collection and disposal program/events.
