The program encourages parents to bring in their old car seats in exchange for a coupon for 20 percent off a new car seat, booster seat, travel system or stroller.

Target is setting up a drop-off box near Guest Services where people can exchange their old car seats for a coupon.

The program starts on Sunday and runs until May 5, and consumers will then have until May 19 to use the coupons.

The retailer said in a press release that the car seats will be recycled into new items like grocery carts, plastic buckets and construction materials.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
