 ications? Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take Back" to prevent pill 
 abuse and theft. \n\nOfficers from the Alexandria Police Department will 
 be collecting unwanted medications at Fire Station 210 as part of this lo

 n Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug
  Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwant

 ptable risk to public health and safety\, particularly in the case of opi
 oids. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and public heal
 th issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in ho
