Last month, national retailer Walmart and global waste collection and recycling company TerraCycle partnered to launch the Walmart Car Seat Recycling Event in nearly 4,000 Walmart stores across the U.S.
Originally planned to span two weeks, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer reached capacity for the program early. According to Erin Hulliberger, director of corporate communications for Walmart, the company collected more than a million car seats in less than a week. Those seats will be recycled through Trenton, N.J.-based TerraCycle, diverting each component from the landfill.
