AUGUST 14, 2010 - We had our third
successful take-back event today at the

Boy Scouts!) worked to collect 121.3 pounds
of pharmaceuticals which is up 17.7% from
our last event (103.07). Click here (English)

In an effort to prevent abuse of prescription
medications and protect the environment, our
Partnership for a Drug-Free Spring Branch is
spearheading an initiative called "Operation
Medicine Cabinet". We are developing partnerships
with local retailers, law enforcement, and other
community sectors to:
Educate the
community about safe storage and disposal of
prescription and over-the-counter medications,
Hold local
prescription medication take-back events, and
Establish
permanent drop-off sites to encourage residents
to bring unused and expired medicines for proper
disposal.
