Maybe you’ve been thinking about ways to help the planet, or maybe you’re doing some spring cleaning. Either way, Target’s car seat trade-in event couldn’t have come at a better time. If you have used car seats laying around your house, you won’t want to miss this recycling event.
Bring an old, expired or damaged car seat to Target and recycle it to redeem a coupon on your Target app or Target.com/circle for 20% off one car seat, one stroller or select baby gear. The coupon can be redeemed through May 14, 2022. Materials from the old car seats are recycled by Target’s partner, Waste Management.
Of the millions of car seats American parents buy every year, tons of them end up being thrown away or collecting dust in our attics. Unfortunately, a lot of donation centers don’t (or can’t) accept old car seats due to how difficult they are to manually strip down, as well as the impossibility of knowing how safe or old a seat truly is.
Amazingly, Target has recycled 1.7 million car seats since 2016. That’s 25.4 million pounds of car seat materials recycled!
Thanks to Target, getting rid of old car digs—and scoring affordable new ones—is easier than ever.
