Stafford, Va. -- Again this year, residents in the Potomac Communities who want to safely dispose of old prescription medications can take them to one of at least two drop off points in the region.
Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, residents can clean out their cabinets of old, unused and potentially dangerous prescription medication and bring them to Stafford Hospital Center off U.S. 1 in Stafford and drop them with the county’s sheriff’s department. There, sheriff’s deputies will partner with the DEA for this annual collection and will have a disposal box set up so residents can simply drive up and drop the medication into a box, never having to get out of their cars, according to a Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
In Woodbridge, Prince William police will collect unused medications at Potomac Mills mall between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
