The Co-operators insurance is collaborating with the non-profit environmental group Green Propellor to offer an option to parents concerned about bulky car and booster seats going to landfill. Co-operators agents like Alok Tomar of Leaside Insurance will receive these seats at their office and oversee their careful dismantling and recycling. Car seats can be broken down into component parts with all the plastic pieces able to fit in a zip lock bag. The Co-operators has a long track record in sustainable practices and support for Green Propeller aligns well with the organizational mandate. The service is free to The Co-operators clients and there is a fee to offset the cost of $15 per car seat and $7 per booster seat. In the South Bayview area anyone wishing to drop off needs to first go to Green Propeller Recycling in order to register and obtain a voucher ($15 for a car seat, $7 for a booster and free for clients of The Co-operators) and then come on by to drop it off. The Co-operators office of Alok Tomar is at 1820 Bayview Ave. There is free parking at the rear off Glazebrook Ave. Facebook .
