Vienna residents can safely and anonymously dispose of expired, unused or unwanted medications during the 30th National Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 25.
The Vienna Police Department will accept medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 215 Center St. S. Medicines may be left in their original containers, but identifying information should be removed from prescription bottles.
Liquid products must remain sealed in their original containers to prevent leaks. Vape pens and other e-cigarette devices will be accepted only after their batteries have been removed.
Intravenous solutions, injectables and syringes cannot be dropped off because of safety hazards, although EpiPens are permitted.
During the previous collection in October 2025, participating residents turned in 148 pounds of medication. The drugs were transferred to the Virginia State Police for proper disposal.
The event is being conducted in partnership with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Virginia State Police. Additional information is available from the Vienna Police Department at 703-255-7846.
