Finally! We no longer need car seats, but were waiting for them to take our old ones.

Hopefully they will recycle it. And we don't need any baby gear!

I read somewhere that like 80 plus percent maybe 90% of stuff that goes into the recycling bin ends up not getting recycled.

this is what AI had to say about it when I asked Gemini:
Roughly 32% of consumer waste is recycled or composted, while approximately 50% ends up in landfills. The remainder is typically handled through combustion for energy recovery.
​The Breakdown
​Recycled/Composted: ~32%
​Landfilled: ~50%
​Combustion/Energy Recovery: ~18%
​Mechanical Realities of the Stream
​The actual yield of a recycling bin is heavily dictated by contamination rates and market demand.
​Contamination: About 25% of items placed in blue bins are non-recyclable (e.g., food-soiled paper, "wish-cycling" items). These contaminants can ruin entire batches, forcing sorting facilities to divert them to landfills.
​Material Specifics: Aluminum and cardboard have high recovery rates because the energy required to re-process them is significantly lower than creating virgin materials. Plastics are more complex; only about 9% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled due to polymer degradation and the high cost of sorting different resin types

You asked AI the wrong thing -- Target is not supposed to just turn around and put it in the recycle bin (which car seats won't qualify anyway). This is (supposedly) a special program Target has with to recycle car seats with certain companies so they (at least, not in its entirety) WONT go to a landfill.

I'm curious how you think they can recycle part of a car seat without trying to melt it down? Do you think they're going to take these components that might be stressed or have been in a wreck and integrate them into a new car seat?
