Do you have a few pieces of new, used or just lightly worn garments hanging on your rack that you’ve been meaning sell/donate for months? We can resonate deeply with that. But did you know that instead of selling to your local consignment store or donating, a few retailers also has their own recycling program where you can turn in your old clothes for a coupon discount or freebie? With Back to School on the rise, Fall fashion hype creeping in and holiday parties coming up, now is a great time to clean out and refresh your wardrobe. These retailers will help you out:
