The Fulshear Police Department, in collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), will host National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fulshear Police Department, 6639 West Cross Creek Bend Lane. The event gives residents a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unwanted, unused, or expired prescription medications.

Community members are encouraged to bring tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs for safe disposal. Removing unneeded medications from homes helps prevent misuse, addiction, and overdose.

For more than a decade, National Prescription Drug Take Back Day has offered free and anonymous drop-off services at thousands of sites nationwide. Since its inception, the program—powered by partnerships with local law enforcement—has removed more than 9,200 tons of medications from circulation.

What to bring / what not to bring:

· Accepted: tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription medications

· Liquids (e.g., cough syrup) must remain in original, tightly sealed containers

· Not accepted: syringes, sharps, or illicit drugs
