DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c
 hanged\, or to share this event with your friends\, please see https://app
 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=27461\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 Fire Station 210 a
 s part of this local Drug Take Back day. The Alexandria Police Department 
 and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance 
 Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off 
 sites for Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unus
 ed and unwanted prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal
  and destruction. These drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use an
 d an unacceptable risk to public health and safety\, particularly in the c
 ase of opioids. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and pu
 blic health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that langui
 sh in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse
 . Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained f
 rom family and friends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addi
 tion\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused 
 medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - bot
 h potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the 
 goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where peopl
 e can live healthier and economically productive lives while reducing thei
 r impact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no qu
 estions asked.\n\nLocation: Fire Station 210\nContact Phone: 703.746.6600\
