Meijer is bringing back its popular Baby Gear Recycling Event this spring, inviting participation from families across the Midwest.
From May 6-19, customers can bring used, expired or damaged baby gear, such as car seats and strollers, to participating Meijer supercenters for proper recycling, and receive a redeemable coupon.
The Grand Rapids-based retailer recycled nearly 18 tons of gear, bringing the total to more than 30 tons of recycled material since the program’s inception in 2024.
“At Meijer, being a good neighbor means investing in programs that make a real difference, and we remain dedicated to supporting families and strengthening our communities through important initiatives like our baby gear recycling event,” said Don Sanderson, chief merchandising and marketing officer at Meijer. “We saw a 33 percent increase in baby gear brought for recycling last year compared to 2024 and look forward to another successful year in 2026.”
