 s.alexandriava.gov/CalendarTest/Detail.aspx?si=27867\n\nHave unwanted and 
 expired prescription medications? Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take
  Back" to prevent pill abuse and theft. \n\nOfficers from the Alexandria P
 olice Department will be collecting unwanted medications outside First Bap
 tist Church as part of this national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the D
 rug Enforcement Administration. The Alexandria Police Department and the A
 lexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Pre
 vention Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for
  Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and un
 wanted prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and dest
 ruction. These drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unac
 ceptable risk to public health and safety\, particularly in the case of op
 ioids. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and public heal
 th issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in hom
 e cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies
  show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from famil
 y and friends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, ma
 ny Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine\
 , often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potenti
 al safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goals of 
 the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can liv
 e healthier and economically productive lives while reducing their impact 
 on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions a
 sked.\n\nLocation: First Baptist Church\, 2932 King St.\nContact Phone: 70
