"Operation Medicine Cabinet", a pharmaceutical take back program, was held on October 29, 2011, between the hours of 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, at several different locations throughout Indian River County.
The operation was deemed a big success as we collected 193 pounds of unused medication. This operation helps to keep drugs from being introduced into the ground, water or soil by improper disposal. It also alleviates the possibility of the medication falling into the wrong hands.
