Hmm, I do have some old car seats, what about engine blocks, can we drop them off too?
and maybe tires…
I have some truck seats. I’ll bring them by. Thanks!
Hey Kym! Maybe need some clarity here?!? At first read I thought they are looking for any seats that came out of a car. Yet this morning, after some reflection….. Seems that they are looking for CHILD CAR SEATS. Yes? (Upon looking at the graphic above, that conclusion is reinforced).
From the drawing on the poster and the sponsors I’m pretty sure that they only want CHILD car seats. However, I attempted to call both of the numbers provided and didn’t get an answer. I would suggest calling on Monday if you really think they might be accepting larger seats.
This sounds great but what about the recycle part? I would bring an old car seat but would love to exchange it for a car seat for older child.
