From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents will be able to drop off their expired or unused medication, no questions asked. Partners in Aging sponsors the event twice a year in cooperation with Mary Washington Healthcare, Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center and the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board.

Only four locations accept needles or syringes and these are Spotsylvania Regional and the three emergency rooms managed by Mary Washington Healthcare: Mary Washington Hospital, Stafford Hospital, and Lee’s Hill Emergency and Outpatient Center.

Other locations accepting medicine in tablet or liquid form include: Wegman’s in Central Park; the University of Mary Washington at the steeple; Chancellor’s Village off State Route 3; CVS Courtland Commons, 9767 Courthouse Road in Spotsylvania County; Mary Washington Primary Care and Pediatrics, 8051 Prosperity Way, Ruther Glen; and Walgreens at 104 West Broaddus Ave., Bowling Green.

In addition to the biannual campaign, drug treatment boxes are available at several locations throughout the year. Drops are generally permitted during weekday business hours at: Fredericksburg Police Department, 2200 Cowan Blvd .; Kaiser Permanente Pharmacy Fredericksburg, 1201 Hospital Drive; Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, 9119 Dean Ridings Lane; and the Humphrey Building in Stafford County, 1225 Courthouse Road.
