Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take-Bac k" to prevent pill abuse and theft. \n\nDeputies from the Alexandria Sheri ff's Office will be collecting unwanted medications outside The Neighborho od Pharmacy at 2204 Mount Vernon Avenue as part of this national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria and Alexandria Renew Enterprises\, are holding three drop off sites for Drug Take Back.\ n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescripti on drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. These dr ugs 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 saf ety and public health issue.
