Operation Pill Drop
Many thanks to all of you for your commitment to removing unwanted pharmaceuticals from medicine cabinets throughout Palm Beach County. Through the efforts of many, over 3,000 pounds of unwanted pharmaceuticals were collected in 2012 at PBSO’s nine district locations and two SWA sites and properly disposed of.
This program is an important component of the Agency’s efforts to reduce diversion to children and protect our water supply. District Deputies were responsible for preparing and submitting for destruction over 150 separate collections from the boxes located at District facilities throughout the County.
