Goodwill does not accept car seats for donation.
This policy is primarily due to safety concerns and regulations surrounding used car seats. Car seats can have expiration dates and may not meet current safety standards.
Moreover, Goodwill prioritizes items that can be easily resold or reused, and car seats often do not fit this criterion.
If you’re looking to dispose of an old car seat responsibly, consider checking with local organizations or recycling programs that specialize in child safety products.
Many communities have specific guidelines for car seat recycling, which can help ensure safe disposal.
You can also reach out to local fire stations or health departments; they may offer resources or programs for safely disposing of car seats.
Keeping your child safe is essential, so make sure to follow proper disposal methods.
