Our CPSTs at Nurture Omaha have teamed up with Children's Nebraska Car Seat Safety Team to be able to recycle MORE seats!
This event will be FREE FOR EVERYONE! And you'll receive educational info and little token of appreciation as a thank you for recycling.
If you'd like to make a donation straight to Safe Kids Douglas County for ensuring car seat safety is accessible to everyone, please follow this link (“Designation” must be “Injury Prevention” to go to the car seat program): https://www.childrensomaha.org/.../give-to-the-childrens.../
Car seats are encouraged to be clean. They don't have to be sparkling, but no gunk, animal feces, human feces, vomit, etc. We do not have the ability to clean car seats, and our recycling center cannot clean them either.
Recycling events are held every 3-4 months. Stay tuned to this page for future recycling events!
--------------------------------------------
**NURTURE OMAHA DOES NOT ACCEPT CAR SEATS IN BETWEEN EVENTS OR BEFORE OR AFTER THE EVENT TIME. We don't have any space to store the seats, and leaving seats outside of our office increases risk of it being stolen and used by someone else when it may be unsafe for them to do so. Thank you for helping us keep the community safe!

What do people do with those thousands of car seats once the child grows out of it, it expires, or it is in a crash? Well, many people just throw them away! There used to be a place to recycle in Omaha, but they no longer accept car seats. Target does a trade-in event once or twice a year (awesome choice to get a coupon!), and Babies R Us is no longer around to have trade-in events either! Omaha was left with NO resource to recycle car seats until NOW!
Nurture Omaha and Children's Nebraska are dedicated to staying green and keeping the environment healthy by being as paperless as possible, recycling breast pumps and car seats, and promoting human milk feeding which is one of the greenest things you can do for the environment and the human race.
