Do not place car seats in curbside recycling.
Target and Walmart offer car seat takeback recycling events annually in September. Terracycle, a company that manages hard-to-recycle items, offers a Baby Gear Zero Waste Box. Clek car seats can be recycled directly through the manufacturers mailback program. See details.
University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Injury Prevention Center no longer offers a car seat collection and recycling program.
If you cannot wait for a takeback event, car seats that are no longer in good, working condition should be placed in the regular trash for disposal.
