DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c
 hanged\, or to share this event with your friends\, please see https://app
 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=10953\n\nHave unwanted and expi
 red prescription medications? Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take-Bac
 k" to prevent pill abuse and theft.\n\nStop by the "Well Ray" health event
  in the 2200 block of Mount Vernon Avenue\, where the Alexandria Sheriff's
  Office\, Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria and the Neigh
 borhood Pharmacy\, are collecting potentially dangerous expired\, unused a
 nd unwanted prescription drugs and other medications for destruction. Thes
 e drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk
  to public health and safety. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public
  safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicin
 es that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, mi
 suse and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs 
 are obtained from family and friends\, including from the home medicine ca
 binet. In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of
  their unused medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing t
 hem away - both potential safety and health hazards.\n\nThis program also 
 supports the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a plac
 e where people can live healthier and economically productive lives while 
 reducing their impact on the environment. \n\nAccording to the Environment
 al Protection Agency's Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products as Pollu
 tants (PPCPs) website\, studies have shown that pharmaceuticals (including
  prescription and over-the-counter therapeutic drugs) are present in our n
 ation's waterbodies\, and further research suggests that certain drugs may
  cause ecological harm. Proper disposal of prescription and over-the-count
 er therapeutic drugs can help reduce the impact to aquatic and ecological 
 life. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocat
