Drug Take Back Initiative in Vienna
In conjunction with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.) and state and local law enforcement agencies, the Vienna Police Department will again participate in a one-day initiative to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from area homes.
On April 30 between the 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the Vienna Police Department will have a collection site for old, expired, unused or unwanted medications.
Prescription medications, controlled or noncontrolled substances and over the counter drugs may be turned in anonymously at the collection point inside The Vienna Police Department located at 215 Center St., South, Vienna.
Participants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing it and disposing of it directly into the collection box. If an original container is used the individual should consider removing any identifying information from the prescription label.
Liquid products should remain sealed in their original container to prevent leakage.
Intravenous solutions, injectables and syringes will not be accepted due to associated hazards.
Commercial businesses, pharmacies or other medical facilities may not use this as a means to discard expired medications or medical waste.
