Who gives discounts in exchange for old things. H&M chain of stores - “Fashion for the environment H&M, a perpetual promotion that not everyone knows about. How to exchange old things for a discount?

Spring is the perfect time to do a seasonal overhaul of your wardrobe and home. Faced with an overflowing closet, many begin to panic: it’s not clear what to do with dresses bought online that didn’t fit, with stretched hoodies or a stack of jeans that you haven’t worn for a long time. It is even less obvious where, in addition to the garbage heap, the annoying interior items can be taken. The Village learned how to give old clothes and furniture a second life.

"BlagoBoutique"

"BlagoButik" - one of the pioneers social entrepreneurship in Russia - opened on September 20, 2012. At the same time, he became the first store in Moscow where you can bring things as a gift. Only designer items of famous brands are accepted here, so it makes sense to look in your closet for Armani, Dior or Emilio Pucci collections. The main thing is that everything is in perfect condition. In the future, the store sells things in favor of seriously ill children - wards of the Podari Zhizn and Faith foundations. To help children, you can bring clothes, shoes, bags, clutches, stoles, scarves, belts, ties, watches, as well as souvenirs, art and antiques and jewelry: necklaces, bracelets, brooches and, for example, earrings.

Representatives of the store reserve the right to refuse or postpone the date of acceptance of items if they consider that the item cannot be sold at the moment or there are no conditions for its storage. Plus, if the store fails to sell the item, it will be donated to other charitable organizations that help those in need. And the proceeds from sales will be transferred to the Podari Zhizn and Vera funds for targeted programs for the purchase of medicines, ventilators, wheelchairs, as well as payment for expensive surgeries and treatment.

Charity Shop

Many American thrift stores help people with disabilities find jobs. The Charity Shop performs an equally important function: profits from clothing sales are channeled charitable foundation"Second wind", where programs for the employment of people from socially vulnerable groups are implemented. In addition, part of the profit is transferred to the center equal opportunities"Up", which helps graduates of orphanages and correctional boarding schools to get an education.

In addition to the usual private donors, Charity Shop cooperates with expat communities, shopping and business centers, and also organizes clothes collection campaigns in offices - you can bring a clothes collection container directly there, picking it up from special warehouse. It is worth renting any everyday or festive clothes- it doesn't matter if it's luxury or mass market, - brands are not as important as appearance and quality preservation. However, even rags are accepted in the Charity Shop - torn, outdated and worn clothes. Of course, no one will wear it, but rags will be used for industrial purposes in metallurgical plants, shoe factories and much more. At the same time, shoes, bags, belts and accessories are accepted only in good condition, as they are not recyclable.

"Shop of Joy"

"Lavka Joy" is the first Russian charitable store, which opened in 2012 thanks to Katya Bermant, director of the organizations "Vse Vmeste" and "Children's Hearts". Project volunteers affectionately call the store a shop and accept absolutely any thing - from vintage items and souvenirs to ordinary new and not so clothes (but the ones that are sold will definitely be in good condition, as they are selected before entering the store). But things that have served their time are still taken in order to be sent for processing or to a dog shelter for pet bedding.

There are no fixed prices and cash desks in the Joy Shop. The coordinator helps each buyer decide on a donation, which he lowers into a sealed box. You can also install a do-box in your office, in which all employees can bring unnecessary things on their way to workplace. All funds raised from the sale of items go to the account of the All Together charity organization. According to the volunteers, it is still not worth bringing books (there is nowhere to put them) and large interior items. It is worth trying to find more unnecessary toys, clothes, bags and accessories.

"Dump "

“Just shovel everything into one big pile and call us - we ourselves will come and take everything out at once,” such a call was posted on his website by the social entrepreneur and founder of the Dump service Alexei Barinsky. In order for the service to help turn unnecessary junk into good, you must leave a request, agree on a time and wait for the on-site team at the appointed time. Project staff pick up any items, except for those that are already considered garbage. They accept gifts of clothes, books, toys, old and broken household appliances, crockery and furniture.

As a bonus for saving former owners will pay a small bonus. Then things are dismantled in the warehouse, the dishes are washed, clothes are sorted and disinfected with quartz, shoes are cleaned, appliances (if possible) are repaired, and books are sorted into categories. At the same time, what is not suitable for sale for recycling is separated and handed over, or disposed of with the help of the “Defigurement” project. Further, the items “Dump” are sold in the proper form at a flea market.

At the disposal of buyers - a large shopping room, where a flea market is open every day from 12:00 to 21:00. Here, 90% of things can be bought for less than 500 rubles. The project also has an online store that sells the most interesting items available. Among other things, "Svalka" cooperates with wholesale buyers, flea markets, enterprises for the processing of old clothes, waste paper, scrap metal and household waste. And 70% of the proceeds are transferred to Dobro Mail.Ru.

H&M is hosting perpetual promotion for recycling things, that is, for your old things they give a discount in 15%.

What H&M has to say on the matter:

The collection program is a global initiative that H&M aims to create a more sustainable fashion for the future.

I'll tell you more​ how many things should be in the package, what quality they should be and where the promotion is held, everything is lower in the rules.

Rules:

  • One package - one discount coupon.
  • In one hand at a time do not give more than two coupons , so if there are a lot of things, but you want discounts, then we either deliver them to different stores, or two packages a day. You can ask someone you know to help)
  • You can donate anything! Things are sorted into categories: re-wear and recycling, so even a lonely old sock is perceived as a thing . Do you want to rent out your top items? Please, you can too! Textile? Of course!
  • One package with things is considered valid from any two things. That is, exaggerating two socks in a bag is a complete bag with things . But we're not going to be so cunning, right?)
  • Where do they exchange things? Any H&M store.
  • What does the discount apply to? For any goods except designer jewelry and things already on sale.
  • Discount valid for 1 year.
  • 1 item per check - one discount
  • leather, both artificial and natural, fur, shoes are not accepted.

It seems to me that great idea not only because of discounts, but also because of the very idea of ​​recycling, what do you think?

If you could not decide to go through the old things, then now it will be easier for you to do it, knowing that you are doing it for a good cause. 😺

We take out a package with packages, make an audit in the cabinets and, without hesitation, we carry our goods to the store. There they will give us two packages for two discount coupons, I remind you that no more than two per hand.

Discount coupons give a 15% discount, made from rough cardboard:

Stores give discounts on new items if you bring them old ones - that's how the trade-in program works. We learned what and how profitable it is possible to exchange under this program.

They will accept devices with scratches, stains on the body and even with a broken screen, and in return they will give a discount on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer.

Sellers promise value, but some buyers complain that phones are priced too cheaply. For example, MTS rated the iPhone 7 with 32 GB memory at 3200 R. And if you believe the calculator on the website of the Re-store store, giving away your iPhone 5 with 64 GB of memory, you can get a discount of only 1900 R on the purchase of a new iPhone XS Max.

Non-working equipment under the recycling program will be accepted by Eldorado, giving a discount on a new one. At the same time, you need to check the prices for a similar product in other stores, because some equipment can cost the same amount even without any disposal.
