Home Instead Senior Care and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office are working together with community and business partners to tackle the issues related to the improper disposal of prescription drugs, and would like to invite you to take advantage of a new community service program, Operation Medicine Cabinet^TM (OMC).

OMC allows you and other members of the community to clear out your medicine cabinets and dispose of outdated or unused prescription drugs in an environmentally safe manner.  Recent studies in Michigan and other states have revealed that many of the substances that have been dumped down the toilet or thrown into our landfills are now showing up in our watersheds, streams, and lakes.  Removing and disposing of these drugs properly is also important because it helps to keep prescription drugs out of the hands of unauthorized users, as well as seniors, who may have trouble keeping track of a large number of drugs they are prescribed.

Do you or any of your loved ones have a cabinet full of outdated or unused medicines?  This is the perfect opportunity to dispose of these items properly.  Tell your friends and neighbors about Operation Medicine Cabinet^TM!
