Maybe you had a cold once and decided not to take the medicine, maybe you skipped that advisory to “finish all of these meds”, whatever the reason — your medicine cabinet is full of old prescriptions you don’t need and don’t know what to do with.
Or maybe it’s just me? I have a bag I’ve been looking to dispose of for a while, so I found a list of places to take old prescriptions to safely dispose of them.
There are national “take-back” days and the Town of Vienna usually has theirs in October and April. The National Take Back Day for 2020 is Saturday, April 25.
If you’re looking for something other than that day, try one of these locations:
- Spectrum Healthcare: 10580 Arrowhead Drive, Fairfax
- CVS in Merrifield: 8124 Arlington Boulevard, Falls Church (near the Five Guys and Elephant Jumps)
- INOVA Emergency Room Pharmacy: 3300 Gallows Road, Falls Church (green metal box in the Pharmacy of the ER)
- Fairfax County Policy Station in McLean: 1437 Balls Hill Road, McLean
- Fairfax County Police Station in Fairfax: 12300 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway, Fairfax
