Fulshear National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Fulshear residents are invited to clean out their medicine cabinets and help keep their community safe during DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The Fulshear Police Department will host a free, anonymous prescription medication disposal event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., providing a safe and convenient way to get rid of unused, unwanted, or expired medications.

Part of a nationwide initiative organized by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), National Prescription Drug Take Back Day helps prevent accidental poisonings, prescription drug misuse, and medication theft while encouraging environmentally responsible disposal practices.

Residents of Fulshear, Cross Creek Ranch, and surrounding Fort Bend County communities can bring eligible medications to the Fulshear Police Department at 6639 W. Cross Creek Bend Lane. The event is completely free, requires no registration, and is anonymous, with no questions asked.

Accepted items include prescription tablets, capsules, patches, other solid prescription medications, and vaping devices or cartridges with lithium batteries removed.

Items not accepted include liquid medications, syringes, needles, other sharps, and vaping devices with lithium batteries still installed.

Whether clearing out outdated prescriptions or helping a family member safely dispose of medications they no longer need, participating in Fulshear's National Drug Take Back Day is a simple way to help protect local households and the community.
