>> Wednesday, October 13, 2010
In conjunction with the Boulder City Health Festival, the Boulder City Police Department has joined Boulder City Hospital, the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce and University of Southern Nevada to present “Operation Medicine Cabinet,” an event designed to combat prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse.
Unused and expired drugs may be dropped off anonymously and with no-questions-asked for safe disposal from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23 at the Boulder City Recreation Center, located at 900 Arizona St. Free health screenings and information from more than 60 organizations will also be featured as part of the Boulder City Health Festival.
“We encourage all Boulder City residents to clean out their medicine cabinets and join us in safely disposing expired or unneeded medications,” said Boulder City Police Chief Thomas Finn. “This effort will help us curtail the growing threat of prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse in our community.”
