If you’re a parent, you likely know the struggle of dealing with outgrown car seats. Thankfully, Target is here to help. This Earth Day, the retail giant continues its commendable car seat recycling program, allowing customers to trade in their outdated car seats for a substantial discount on a new one.
From April 22 to May 5, Target will accept your old car seats, making it easy to do your part for the environment while saving money on necessary kid gear. For every car seat you recycle, you’ll receive a generous 20% off your next purchase of a new car seat, booster seat, seat base, or travel system at Target. Because let’s face it, where else would you get such a deal? Target is our go-to for everything family-related.
Michelle Johnson, Target’s senior vice president of apparel and accessories, stated in a recent press release, “We’re thrilled to announce the return of our car seat trade-in program for the third year. Since launching in 2016, we’ve successfully recycled over 176,000 car seats, preventing an impressive 2.6 million pounds of waste from ending up in landfills. Our customers increasingly seek ways to contribute positively to the planet, and our trade-in program makes it easier than ever for them to do so.”
In a shift from previous years, this time around, Target has teamed up with Waste Management to transform those old car seats into useful products such as grocery carts, plastic buckets, and construction materials. It’s vital to properly recycle car seats, as they often don’t fit into standard curbside recycling programs. Plus, selling or giving away used car seats is not advisable due to safety regulations and expiration dates. If a car seat has been damaged or involved in an accident, it should be replaced immediately, even if it appears intact.
By participating in this program, you’re not just keeping car seats out of landfills; you’re also getting a great reason to visit Target and stock up on discounted essentials.
