It is that time of year to break up with your old car seats. It isn’t you, it is them – they aren’t safe. You can’t just be friends and pass by them in your garage hoping to rekindle a connection later. Make the promise to dump them once and for all! Below are a couple of options to help you keep this promise.
- Drop off at a Target Car Seat Trade-In event (occurs every spring and fall – Car Seat Trade-in Event FAQ : Target). Materials from the old car seats will be recycled by Target’s partners to create new products such as pallets, plastic buckets, construction materials such as steel beams and carpet padding
- Loveland Recycling Center accepts car seats for Loveland residents. Please strip them of all pieces.
- Cut the straps and toss them in the trash.
