Island Junk Solutions offers pickup for expired or damaged car seats and delivers them to approved recycling facilities

Clear Out Expired Car Seats Without the Hassle

Car seats have a limited lifespan. Most expire within six to 10 years, and expired or damaged seats can’t be reused or donated. Disposing of them in the garbage isn’t recommended, since many of the components can be recycled. Island Junk Solutions picks up unwanted car seats from homes, daycares, and businesses, and delivers them to local depots or disposal sites that handle them properly, ensuring anything that can be recycled stays out of the landfill.

How We Handle Car Seat Disposal

Whether you have one seat in the garage or a big pile from a community collection drive, we’ll load, secure, and transport them to the appropriate facility so you don’t have to make multiple trips. Car seats are typically a mix of materials, some recyclable and some not. Local depots require certain parts, like straps, padding, and covers, to be removed before recycling the shell or frame. If you haven’t dismantled the seat, we’ll take it as-is and make sure it reaches the right facility for processing.
