Got a car seat to recycle for reuse? WestSide Baby wants it!

WestSide Baby is getting the word out tonight about its car-seat-collection drive, about to be kicked off with the help of Waste Management – with two events, one on the north side of the city and one at WS Baby’s White Center headquarters. That car-seat-collection event is set for 10 am-2 pm on Saturday, October 16th (10027 14th SW – map); or if you just can’t wait to get the car seat off your hands, 10 am-4 pm at the Ballard branch of Viking Bank (2237 NW 57th – map). IMPORTANT: Check out the criteria for whether your car seat qualifies to be recycled for reuse – details here.

    This is GREAT news! So many of us probably have “Too old” car seats that we can’t do anything with, other than put them in the dump. What a waste – no pun intended. Hopefully WM uses the plastic for something useful.

    Hope all those “too old” seats make their way to WestSide Baby on the 16th. Our recycling partner, Total Reclaim, supporting Waste Management’s efforts will recycle every possible part of the car seats.

    Nancy – I can’t make the 16th event – will taking them to Ballard work? Or should people drop off the “old” seats to you anytime?

Sorry, comment time is over.
