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 Fire Station 210 as p art of Drug Take Back Day. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexan dria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Preventi on Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwante d prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destructi on.

Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to divers ion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescriptio n drugs are obtained from family and friends\, including from the home med icine cabinet. In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly di spose of their unused medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or th rowing them away - both potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis prog ram also supports the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promo te a place where people can live healthier and economically productive liv es while reducing their impact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocation: Fire Station 210\nContac t Person: PIO Crystal Nosal\nContact Phone: 703.746.6600\nAudience: Anyon e may attend\nTags: APDCalendar\, Criminal Justice\, Eco-City\, Eisenhower West\, Fire Department\, Health\, Public Safety\, West End\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx ?id=1&si=17217 DTEND:20180106T190000Z DTSTAMP:20171214T154249Z DTSTART:20180106T150000Z LOCATION:Fire Station 210 SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Drug Take Back at Station 210 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:df9d3455-b8e2-4c6c-a0b1-f3b41727bc12 X-COA-DTSTAMP:20171214T154249Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
