Car seat recycling FAQs
Do you recycle car seats in-house at your Elburn, Illinois location?
Why recycle your used or worn out car seats?
Car seats can’t be indefinitely passed on to others for use, as they have an expiration date in order to ensure continued safe use. But throwing yours in the trash is never a good idea. By recycling, donating, or trading in your old car seats, you’ll be helping to keep roughly 180 million pounds of valuable material out of landfills each year.
Who do you partner with to recycle car seats?
To recycle car seats, we partner with Granite Peak Plastics for processing the plastic parts, USAgain for recycling textile elements, and Dart for handling the styrofoam components. This collaboration ensures comprehensive recycling of all car seat materials.
