Evesham Police to Participate in First Statewide Medicine Disposal Day in the Nation

Evesham Police will be hosting an Operation Medicine Cabinet local collection site as part of the first statewide medicine disposal day in the nation. The event will take place in the lobby at the Evesham Township Municipal Building, 984 Tuckerton Rd., Marlton, NJ between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, 2009. This initiative, open to all residents, was organized to encourage local community residents to properly dispose of their unused, unwanted and expired medicine to eliminate the possibility of the medications being abused.

This statewide effort, with over 250 participating New Jersey police departments, is being spearheaded by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Jersey Division (DEA), the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General and the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ). Evesham Township residents looking for information on the abuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs should visit www.operationmedicinecabinetnj.com.
