Car Seats

Do not place car seats in curbside recycling.

Meijer, Target , and Walmart offer car seat takeback recycling events a few times a year. Check with your local store.

TerraCycle, a company that manages hard-to-recycle items, offers a Baby Gear Zero Waste Box. Recycle any brand of old child safety car seat by ordering a recycling kit from the Car Seat Recycling Program. Clek car seats can be recycled through a mail-back program in partnership with CarSeatRecycling.com. Other alternatives can be viewed at Recycle Your Car Seat.

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 no longer in good working condition should be placed in the regular trash for disposal. Car seat straps should be cut before disposal to render them useless.
