DEA partners with Fort Thomas for Drug Takeback Day

The Fort Thomas Police Department has announced its collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Fort Thomas Lions Club for the DEA Drug Takeback Day, scheduled for Saturday, April 26. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering community members an opportunity to dispose of unwanted, expired, and unused prescription medications responsibly.

"The Fort Thomas Police Department will once again partner with the DEA and the Fort Thomas Lions Club," stated a spokesperson for the Police Department. Officers will be stationed to collect medications for safe disposal.

Additionally, the Fort Thomas Lions Club will be present to gather old or unused prescription glasses. These glasses will be refurbished and provided to those in need, supporting a charitable cause.

Both the Drug and Glasses Drop Off will be conducted in a drive-thru format in front of the city building at 130 North Fort Thomas Avenue. The setup is designed for convenience, enabling participants to remain in their vehicles while contributing to the initiatives.
