Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet - Weber-Morgan Health Department

The Weber-Morgan Health Department held a "Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet" event today from 10 am to 2 pm.  People were invited down to drop off their expired or unwanted medications.  This is an effort to avoid medications polluting our water systems (from flushing them) and also to avoid drug abuse.  Overall they collected 285lbs of medications.  That is amazing!

I know South Ogden and many other places hold such events but I was especially impressed by the level of work that went into this event.  I saw a lot of flyers in local business but I was impressed with the amount of social media used to promote this idea.

Weber-Morgan Health Department has been expanding out into Twitter and Facebook for sometime now.  They are gaining a lot of fans and have done a lot to keep their website current and information fresh.  I hope all of you will take the time to friend them on facebook or follow them on twitter.  They give a lot of great updates and doing there best to keep us all informed. We have a great Health Department in our area!
