 c health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish 
 in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. S
 tudies show that the majority of misused prescription drugs are obtained f
 rom family and friends\, including from home medicine cabinets. In additio
 n\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of unused medicatio
 n\, often flushing it down the toilet or throwing it away - both potential
  safety and health hazards.\n\nDrug take back days and permanent drop boxe
 s also support the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote 
 a place where people can live healthier and economically productive lives\
 , while reducing their impact on the environment.\n\nThe service is free a
 nd anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nTo learn more about ways to prevent
