 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=16884\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\nOfficers from the Alexandria Polic
 e Department will be collecting unwanted medications at Police Headquarter
 s as part of this national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the Drug Enforc
 ement Administration. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria 
 Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Co
 alition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take
  Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted pre
 scription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. T
 hese drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable r
 isk to public health and safety. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital pub
 lic safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medi
 cines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\,
  misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription dru
 gs are obtained from family and friends\, including from the home medicine
  cabinet. In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose
  of their unused medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwin
 g them away - both potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program a
 lso supports the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a 
 place where people can live healthier and economically productive lives wh
 ile reducing their impact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and 
 anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocation: Police Headquarters\nContact
