Vallejo Target store part of child car seat recycling/upgrade program
TerraCycle Target Include USA
Target Stores, including the one in Vallejo — at 904 Admiral Callaghan Lane — has launched a car seat recycling/upgrade program, “just in time for Earth Day,” company officials announced.
“It’s spring cleaning time and if an old car seat is on the toss list, Target has you covered,” the announcement says. “Target is teaming up with TerraCycle for a car seat recycling program from April 17-30.”
Durign that time, people can drop off an old car seat at their local Target store to be recycled, and then receive a coupon for 20 percent off any car seat purchase in store or at Target.com, good through May 31, officials said.
“After receiving positive guest feedback on a test of the program in 90 stores last September, Target is kicking off its first trade-in program available at most stores across the country,” they said. “The program encourages guests to upgrade car seats to the appropriate size for their child to meet car seat safety standards, and Target expects to keep more than 700,000 pounds of car seat materials out of landfills through the partnership.”
Bins will be located either in the store’s “baby” section or near the front of the store, and guests can then locate a team member to receive the coupon, they said.
