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 Drug Take Back Day . The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, w ith cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandri a\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off p otentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. These 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 publi c health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. S tudies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In additio n\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused med icine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both p otential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goa ls of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people c an live healthier and economically productive lives while reducing their i mpact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no quest ions asked.\n\nLocation: No Location Specified\nContact Person: Amy Berts ch\nContact Phone: 703.746.5014\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: APDCal endar\, Criminal Justice\, Del Ray\, Eco-City\, Health\, Mt.
