 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=25022\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 outside First Baptist
  Church as part of this national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the Drug 
 Enforcement Administration. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexa
 ndria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevent
 ion Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Dru
 g Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwant
 ed prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruct
 ion. These drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unaccept
 able risk to public health and safety\, particularly in the case of opioid
 s. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health i
 ssue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home ca
 binets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies sho
 w that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family an
 d friends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, many A
 mericans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine\, of
 ten flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential s
 afety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goals of the 
 Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can live he
 althier and economically productive lives while reducing their impact on t
 he environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked
