 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=27865\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 national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the Drug Enforceme
 nt Administration. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria She
 riff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coali
 tion of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take Ba
 ck.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescr
 iption drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. Thes
 e drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk
  to public health and safety\, particularly in the case of opioids. \n\nTh
 is initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Man
 y Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets ar
 e highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a 
 majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends
 \, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, many Americans 
 do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine\, often flush
 ing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety and
  health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goals of the Eco-City 
 Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can live healthier a
 nd economically productive lives while reducing their impact on the enviro
 nment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLoca
