LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Target's car seat trade-in program is returning this month in honor of National Baby Safety month. Customers can trade in old car seats from Sunday, September 10 through 23 at Target stores and receive a coupon for 20 percent off the purchase of a new car seat, including booster seats, car seat bases and travel systems.

Kevin and Dina speak with Jessica Panetta from TerraCycle, an initiative that helps recycle almost anything such as cigarette butts. Interview begins at 2:48.

I was watching BTV or Breakfast Television Toronto, like I do every morning Monday to Friday starting at 6 AM until 9 AM., I pretty much catch the entire show minus a half hour, as they start at 5:30 AM. I love the entire show as it gives me everything from news, entertainment, food and health, there’s never a shortage of things to watch on BTV every day!

Babies outgrow everything. So whether your baby has outgrown his or her Goldfish-encrusted seat right now or the old ride sits in the garage along with a set of dusty free weights and a busted vacuum, Target invites you to drop it off in exchange for a 20 percent off coupon toward the purchase of new car seat.

Well, school is back in session here in NE Ohio. My oldest is a Senior in High School, and my younger kids are in 1st and 2nd grades. I'm not entirely how it happened, but my babies are no longer babies. Time to cue a mid-life crisis.

In honor of September being National Baby Safety Month, a pair of large retailers are giving parents a chance to unload their children's old car seats and save some money on new ones. Target has announced the return of its car seat trade-in program in which customers can trade in old car seats from Sept. 10-23 at Target stores and receive a coupon for 20 percent off the purchase of a new car seat, including booster seats, car seat bases and travel systems.

What do you think when you see this word on a product? Most of us who are not involved in the manufacturing process, hold a PhD. in Plastics or work in recycling can find this term confusing or just plain misleading. We are naive when we think “recyclable” means that the item can be recycled when you place it into a common recycling bin. Sometimes it might mean that, but in reality it’s unlikely.

Problem: Laboratories and research organizations generate millions of nonhazardous lab disposables per year. Scientists corresponding to international science journal Nature have estimated that lab plastics waste accounted for 5.5 million tons in 2014, roughly the combined tonnage of 67 cruise liners—and this estimate only speaks to one of the many types of waste created by labs. The quantity and variety of waste generated depends on the type of lab, as the lab and research industry can be broadly defined to include hospitals, universities, pharmaceutical corporations and regulatory agencies. Every lab is different and creates a mix of natural and synthetic materials, which may include glass, plastic, hybrid material lab garments and nitrile and rubber gloves.

When your growing-like-a-weed baby outgrows her infant car seat, it'll probably just wind up in the Land of Lost Baby Gear in your basement, destined to collect dust until you back up a truck to haul out all your old stuff years from now. But from September 10 through 23, Target will take that yucky old car seat off your hands, turn it into something brand-new and helpful for the environment, and hand you a 20 percent discount coupon for the next seat in your baby’s journey through the world of baby safety gear.

It's hard to know exactly what to do with a car seat that your child has outgrown. But, Target's here to make getting rid of it easy for you. They're re-launching their car seat trade-in event which allows you to drop off your old car seat in order to be recycled and in return, receive a 20 percent off coupon for your next car seat purchase. The store offered this program back in April, and it was extremely popular. According to a press release, they collected over 80,000 car seats during the trial, totaling over one million pounds of car seats to be recycled.
