 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=25023\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 their headquarters
  as part of this national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the Drug Enforce
 ment Administration. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria S
 heriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coa
 lition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take 
 Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted pres
 cription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. Th
 ese drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable ri
 sk to public health and safety\, particularly in the case of opioids. \n\n
 This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. M
 any Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets 
 are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that 
 a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and frien
 ds\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, many American
 s do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine\, often flu
 shing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety a
 nd health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goals of the Eco-Cit
 y Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can live healthier
  and economically productive lives while reducing their impact on the envi
 ronment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLo
