Nationwide—Walmart is launching its first-ever car seat recycling event Monday, joining the popular initiative conducted by rival Target.
From Sept. 16-30, customers can trade in used car seats at the service desk of any of the nearly 4,000 participating Walmart stores. They’ll get a $30 Walmart gift card that can be used in their stores or online for baby items.
There’s a limit of two trade-ins per household and booster seats are not eligible. The gift card is only good through Sept. 30. Not all Walmart stores are participating, so call ahead to be sure your store is doing it. A spokesperson at Wal-mart in Greensburg stated they are participating in the program.
The retailer is teaming up with waste management company TerraCycle, which works with manufacturers and retailers to collect items that are considered difficult to recycle and usually end up in the trash. Target’s car seat trade-in program concluded last Friday.
