This was the first car seat recycling event for Walmart, which gave out an estimated $30 million in gift cards.
"In less than one week, we estimate we will collect nearly 1 million car seats -- or the equivalent of diverting over 200 million plastic bottles from landfills," Walmart said.
The event, which offered $30 Walmart gift cards in exchange for old car seats, ended nine days early on Saturday.
It was originally meant to run through next Monday.
