Customers Can Trade in the Car Seat Their Kid
Has Outgrown for a $30 Walmart Gift Card
Walmart and TerraCycle are joining forces to launch the nation’s
largest car seat recycling event in nearly 4,000 Walmart stores
across the country.
The first-ever Walmart Car Seat Recycling Event will take place
Sept. 16-30, in celebration of National Baby Safety Month.
Customers can trade in used car seats at the Service desk in any
participating Walmart store and receive a $30 Walmart gift card*
that can be used in store or online to buy items for their baby.
All car seats collected in this program will be recycled through
TerraCycle, and each component will be diverted from the
landfill.
“Safety – especially car seat safety – is a top priority for
Walmart’s Baby department, so we wanted to use our size and scale
to create an event that offered unprecedented access to trade in an
outgrown car seat for a gift card – perfect for using on your
baby’s next car seat,” said Melody Richards, Vice President,
Walmart Baby. “Sustainability is of equal importance to Walmart, so
we’re happy to work with TerraCycle who will recycle every
component of the car seats.”
“Through the Walmart Car Seat Recycling Program, traditionally
non-recyclable car seats are now nationally recyclable,” said Tom
Szaky, CEO and Founder, TerraCycle. “We are proud to work with this
forward-thinking company to offer families from coast-to-coast 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.”
