This Saturday, April 25, 2026 is Drug Take Back at Vernon Memorial Hospital 10am to 1pm. We also provide a medication drop box, Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, to dispose of unwanted or unused medication.

Drug Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the community about the potential abuse and consequences of improper storage and disposal of these medications.

“This spring, we encourage you to clean out your medicine cabinet and safely dispose of your unused and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications at a Drug Take Back event,” said Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. And if you can’t make it to a Drug Take Back location on April 26, the Viroqua Police Department has a permanent disposal box where you can dispose of your unwanted and unused medications throughout the year.

Unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured down the drain. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all pharmaceuticals, and trace amounts are showing up in rivers and lakes.

The City of Viroqua is issuing a Winter Snow Event as of 5:00pm on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

Once a Winter Snow Event is declared, all vehicles must be removed from any public street or alley until the snow has been removed to the curb line. For more information, please continue reading this post.

The City of Viroqua has an ordinance regarding on-street parking during the snow season. The ordinance allows overnight parking on City streets at all times of the year EXCEPT in the instance of a “winter snow event” – which is defined as any instance in which there is snowfall of 1 ½ inches or more. When the snowfall threshold is met, the Viroqua Public Works Department or Police Department issues a city-wide notification.

City residents and guests are strongly encouraged to monitor weather forecasts and relocate their vehicles ahead of time if snowfall is expected to exceed 1 ½ inches.

Reminder Winter Snow Event Procedures

In 2021 the City of Viroqua passed a new ordinance regarding on-street parking during the snow season. Previously, City ordinances restricted all overnight parking on City streets between November 15th and April 1st of each year. The new ordinance allows overnight parking on City streets at all times of the year EXCEPT in the instance of a "winter snow event" - which is defined as any instance in which there is snowfall of 1 1/2 inches or more. When the snowfall threshold is met the Viroqua Public Works Department or Viroqua Police Department will issue a city wide notification via the City website, Facebook, and Nixle declaring a snow event.
City residents and guests are strongly encouraged to monitor weather forecasts and relocate their vehicles ahead of time if snowfall is expected to exceed 1 1/2 inches.
Once a snow event has been declared, on-street parking will be prohibited in the downtown corridor between Decker and South St., Dunlap and Center Streets between the hours of midnight at 7:00AM OR until snow has been removed past the curbline to the sidewalk, typically, but not always, the evening after the snow event. It is important to note that if the snow event happens on a Friday or Sunday, the snow removal in the downtown haul zone may not occur until Monday/Tuesday evening. In that case, no night parking in the haul zone is allowed until after the snow is removed past the curbline.
In all other areas outside of the downtown corridor, on-street parking is prohibited until after that street or alley has been plowed and the snow has been removed to the curbline.
