York County SC Operation Medical Drop Dec 2009

admin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:10:59 +0000

There’s a party going on in the family medicine cabinet. Unsuspecting parents/grandparents are the host. The guest list is their child and their friends.

A dangerous new trend that experts warn is growing fast among suburban youth and is helping to turn medicine abuse into the No. 1 drug problem in York County.

“Operation Medicine Drop” will give York County residents the opportunity to rid their homes and medicine cabinets of unused, unwanted and expired medicine.

The program will allow York County residents to deliver all of their unused, unwanted or expired medications to law enforcement officials, who can in-turn dispose of these controlled substances in a safe and non-hazardous manner.

This initiative will be held in partnership with several Law Enforcement, County and State Agencies, Local Businesses, and Substance Abuse Prevention Organizations.

Operation Medicine Drop is December 12 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Locations:

Rock Hill Super Bi-Lo 2186 Cherry Road
Fort Mill Bi-Lo 1329 W. Highway 160
York Bi-Lo 717 E. Liberty Street
Lake Wylie Bi-Lo 158 Highway 274
Clover Peoples Pharmacy 134 S. Main Street
