According to TerraCycle USA, Target stores are participating in a car seat recycling program that offers coupons for clunkers April 17-30. Stores across the county, including the Asheville location at 115 River Hills Road, will have collection stations set up in front of the store where patrons can drop off used car seats for total recycling. The program offers a 20 percent off coupon towards the purchase of a new car seat at Target.
Excerpt of email from TerraCycle:
Between April 17 and 30, Asheville area residents can recycle used car seats! In celebration of Earth Month, 1,700 Target stores nationwide and across North Carolina are hosting a car seat collection program to help residents reduce household clutter without sending waste to landfills. All car seats collected through this program will be recycled through TerraCycle so that each component will see a second life.
Residents should bring their car seats to their participating Target store and look for Target’s car seat collection box in the front of the store or in the baby/kids floor pad section. When a customer turns in a used car seat, he or she will receive a coupon for 20% off the purchase of a new one.
After the recycling program ends, TerraCycle will separate the different components of the car seats (cloth elements, plastics, metals, etc.) and process them for use in other products.
