After the event, Law Enforcement Officials will take all of the medications collected and dispose of them in a safe and environmentally-friendly way.

In addition to helping communities rid their counties of unused prescription drugs, Operation Medicine Cabinet promotes awareness of juvenile prescription drug prevention efforts.
