The Target car seat trade-in event begins this month.

If you bring in an old, expired or damaged car seat for Target to recycle you can get a 20% off bonus to be used for a new car seat, stroller or select baby gear.

The program will run from Sunday, Sept. 15, through Saturday, Sept. 28. The bonus can be applied to both in-store and online purchases and is valid from until October 12. It can be combined with other item offers and is redeemable twice.

Materials from the old car seats are recycled by Target’s partner, Waste Management. It will be used to create new products like pallets, plastic buckets and construction materials such as steel beams and carpet padding.

So far, Target has recycled more than 3 million car seats or 45 million pounds of car seat material.
