Don't need that car seat? Recycle it. A new statewide program recycles child car and booster seats. It'll cost you, though. Updated: Nov. 13, 2011 - 07:38 PM "...That's because car seats older than six years cannot legally be donated for safety reasons, so they most commonly end up in landfills or basement storage rooms. That's all changing in Minnesota, where a new statewide program through the Recycling Association of Minnesota recycles old or unwanted child safety seats..." "The program is called REseat and it employs people with disabilities to disassemble the car seats before sending them to local facilities to be recycled into metal, and plastic landscape tiles." On Nov. 15, America Recycles Day, the Recycling Association of Minnesota is holding a special drop-off car seat recycling event from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Linden Hills Ace Hardware Store, 2813 W. 43rd St., Minneapolis. It will cost you $10 per seat to recycle a car seat, but in return you will receive a $10 voucher to the hardware store to go toward any $25 purchase. For questions, call 952-473-0048 or e-mail ram@recycleminnesota.org. Aimée Tjader • 612-673-1715 www.startribune.com/lifestyle/133718738.html
