"The WPD will collect expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs that are potentially dangerous if left in the family’s medicine cabinet," said Woodbridge Police Director Robert Hubner. "Law enforcement investigations have determined that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to abuse and that individuals that abuse prescription drugs often obtained them from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet."
