Reston Residents: Fairfax County Police Want You to Bring Them Your Drugs
Authorities are pushing county residents to get rid of their unused and expired prescription drugs.

RESTON, VA — The Fairfax County
Police Department wants you to hand your drugs over to them. Don't worry, it's
OK.
Fairfax County Police are
providing locals with an opportunity to dispose of their potentially dangerous
expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs for the 12th National Drug Take
Back Day this Saturday, Oct. 22. You can drop them off at the Reston District
Station located at 12000 Bowman Towne Drive between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
"DON'T flush unused
medicines," Fairfax County says on its website. "Why? Because they
can end up in our rivers and streams. To help protect our environment, throw
unused, unwanted or expired over-the-counter and prescription medicines in the
trash. Don’t flush medicines — except when specifically instructed by the label."
