 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 th
 e majority of misused prescription drugs are obtained from family and frie
 nds\, including from home medicine cabinets. In addition\, many Americans 
 do not know how to properly dispose of unused medication\, often flushing 
 it down the toilet or throwing it away - both potential safety and health 
 hazards.\n\nDrug take back days and permanent drop boxes also support the 
 goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where peopl
 e can live healthier and economically productive lives\, while reducing th
 eir impact on the environment.\n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no q
 uestions asked.\n\nTo learn more about ways to prevent substance use and m
