 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=33375\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. The Alexandria Police
  Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from th
 e Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multip
 le drop off sites for Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous ex
 pired\, unused and unwanted prescription drugs and other medications for s
 afe disposal and destruction. These drugs can be a source of supply for il
 legal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety\, particula
 rly in the case of opioids. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public s
 afety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines
  that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misu
 se and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs ar
 e obtained from family and friends\, including from the home medicine cabi
 net. In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of t
 heir unused medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing the
 m away - both potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also s
 upports the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place
  where people can live healthier and economically productive lives while r
 educing their impact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anony
 mous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocation: First Baptist Church\, 2932 King S
