In celebration of National Baby Safety Month, Walmart and TerraCycle have joined forces to recycle car seats.
Through September 30, 2019, Morris County residents will be able to trade in used car seats for a $30 Walmart gift card. Customers in the area can bring their car seats to the Walmart in Cedar Knolls or to any other participating location for a gift card that can be used in-store or online. All car seats collected in this program will be recycled through TerraCycle, and each component will be diverted from the landfill, the statement said.
“Through the Walmart Car Seat Recycling Program, traditionally non-recyclable car seats are now nationally recyclable,” said Tom Szaky, CEO and Founder of TerraCycle. “We are proud to help offer families a way to give their car seat — the item that has kept their little ones safe — a second life.”
“Through this event, we expect to divert the plastic equivalent of approximately 35 million water bottles from landfills.”
The Walmart $30 gift card offer with car seat trade is valid through September 30, 2019 at participating Walmart retail store locations. Not available at all Walmart Neighborhood Market locations. Limit of 2 gift cards per household. Booster seats not eligible. Please go to the Customer Service desk for assistance.
