Most homes have a medicine cabinet with a few items that are no longer needed but are never thrown away. In Benbrook, there is now a simple and safe way to clear them out.
On Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Benbrook Police and Fire Departments will host a Prescription Drug Take-Back event at the Benbrook Fire Station, located at 528 Mercedes Street. The event is free and open to the public.
Working alongside the Drug Enforcement Administration, the goal is to help residents properly dispose of unused or expired over-the-counter medications. It is a small step that can make a meaningful difference in keeping homes and the community safer.
There are a few important guidelines. Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes will not be accepted due to safety concerns tied to blood-borne risks.
For questions, residents can contact the Benbrook Police Department at 817-249-2752 or the Benbrook Fire Department at 817-249-1727.
For those looking to clean out their medicine cabinets the right way, this event offers a straightforward option close to home.
