 unneeded prescription and over-the-counter medications\, including those p
 rescribed by veterinarians\, during National Prescription Drug Take Back D
 ay on April 27 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.\n\nAs part of the Drug Enforcement Ag
 ency's National Drug Take Back Day\, the Alexandria Police Department\, Al
 exandria Sheriff's Office\, and Alexandria Health Department\, with cooper
 ation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria\, are st
 affing multiple drop-off locations for safe medication disposal.\n\nDrop o

 ns Pharmacy located at Bradlee Shopping Center. No needles are accepted at

  AVAILABLE AT THIS LOCATION!\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 the majority of misused prescription drugs
  are obtained from family and friends\, including from home medicine cabin
 ets. In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of u
 nused medication\, often flushing it down the toilet or throwing it away -
  both potential safety and health hazards.\n\nDrug take back days and perm
 anent drop boxes also support the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiat
 ive to promote a place where people can live healthier and economically pr
 oductive lives\, while reducing their impact on the environment.\n\nThe se
 rvice is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nTo learn more about w
