 ILABLE AT THIS LOCATION!\n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safet
 y and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines tha
 t languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse a
 nd abuse. Studies show that the majority of misused prescription drugs are
  obtained from family and friends\, including from home medicine cabinets.
  In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of unuse
 d medication\, often flushing it down the toilet or throwing it away - bot
 h potential safety and health hazards.\n\nDrug take back days and permanen
 t drop boxes also support the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative 
 to promote a place where people can live healthier and economically produc
 tive lives\, while reducing their impact on the environment.\n\nThe servic
 e is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nTo learn more about ways
