Car Seat Recycling Drop Off

The green cross wants to help you be green. Outdated, recalled or crashed child safety seats need to be recycled not destroyed. Many parents and caregivers have old seats taking up a lot of room in their garages, basements or storage areas in their house. The National Safety Council and Two Men and A Truck are providing an opportunity for you to finally get rid of your old seats and clear up some much needed space.
Anyone with seats they need to get rid of can drop them off at the National Safety Council 11620 M Circle from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday until September 30th for collection. Our friends from Two Men and Truck will load them up and take them away.
Then on Sunday October 3rd 11:30 am to 2:30 pm at the Community Safety & Wellness Festival at Embassy Suites 12520 Westport Parkway LaVista Nebraska they will be recycled in the Embassy Suites east parking lot. Parents may also wait until October 3rd and drop them off during the event at Embassy Suites. There will also be a car seat check up event at the same time. At a car seat check up event parent’s can receive instruction on the proper use and installation of their child safety seats.

Hold your own bicycle rodeo with one of our Bicycle Rodeo Kits
Did you miss out on our bicycle rodeo called "CycleFest"? It's not too late to teach your children or youth group bicycle safety and maybe even remind yourself of some basic bicycling safety skills. Our kit includes everything you need to put on a safe and educational rodeo. This kit is great for girl and boy scouts to help them earn their safety awards. Parents also have enjoyed having them for birthday parties. Police have used them to put on rodeos in their precincts.
