Child seats become unnecessary as the child grows. If it is in good condition, such as a child seat with few scratches or stains, it may be possible to sell it as a second-hand product. Also, if you simply dispose of child seats as garbage without selling them, you will need to think about how to dispose of them. Therefore, in this article, we will explain three ways to dispose of child seats.

Dispose of Child Seats as Oversized Garbage

Since child seats are larger than general household waste, they should be disposed of as oversized garbage. Check out the details on how to do that.

Child seats become bulky waste

Bulky waste refers to large waste that exceeds 30 cm in any length, width, or height. Most child seats exceed that standard and should be disposed of as bulky waste.

How to dispose of child seats as oversized garbage

Even if you dispose of child seats as oversized garbage, the method differs depending on the municipality where you live, so first check the disposal method specified by the municipality. For example, in the case of Kita-ku, Tokyo, after applying to the Oversized Garbage Reception Center and purchasing a oversized garbage disposal ticket, the disposal method is to put the disposal ticket on a child seat and put it out.

If it is a child seat that can be reused, many people may feel that it would be a waste to throw it away as garbage. If it is a child seat that can be reused, you may want to consider using a recycle shop to turn it into money.

Sell to Thrift Shop

Child seats can be purchased at recycle shops depending on their condition. Before asking a recycle shop to buy a child seat, the key to getting a high price is to take good care of it. Car seats should be cared for as follows: First, roughly remove the dust on the sheet with a vacuum cleaner. Next, remove dirt (sweat, sebum, food debris, etc.) from the area where the child sits. When removing dirt with a vacuum cleaner, you should focus on cleaning the grooves and seams on the seat surface, as food particles can easily get into them. Also, for dirt that has soaked into the child seat, dilute the laundry detergent to about 100 times with water to make a cleaning solution, soak it in a rag, etc., and wipe it off.

Auction

There is also a way to sell child seats on an online auction site and turn them into money. At online auctions, the price may be higher than the purchase price at a recycle shop, so you may want to try exhibiting.

Other Disposal Methods for Child Seats

Up to this point, we have introduced ways to dispose of child seats by “throwing them away” or “selling” them. There is also a way to find a municipality that is recruiting or an acquaintance who needs it and hand it over.

Donate to local governments

Some municipalities ask for donations from people who no longer need child seats. It won't make you money, but it's a more economical and environmentally friendly option than disposing of it in the trash.

Leave it to someone you know

Similar to donating to the local government, there is also a way to hand over the child seat you no longer need to an acquaintance. You can dispose of unwanted items yourself, and acquaintances can get child seats for free, so you can kill two birds with one stone.
