These 7 Stores Will Recycle All Of Your Old Crap, And Some Will Give You Perks

Here's where you can earn cash back, coupons, and more.

1. Drop unwanted garments of any shape, size or wearability at your local H&M in exchange for a discount coupon.

H&M works with I:CO to determine whether the garments can be reworn (sold secondhand), reused (turned into other textiles), or recycled (turned into recycled fibers).

2. Drop off your electronics, appliances, and ink cartridges at a Best Buy.

Technology is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet, so Best Buy works with recyclers to make sure that your electronics are disposed of at the highest standards. They take literally anything including batteries, wires, plastic bags, ink and vacuums. They also offer a haul-away service for large appliances or TVs for $14.99.

6. Send all of your old clothing, bags, and shoes to thredUP.

I've personally used this service and loved everything about it. When you send them one of their garbage bag-sized packages, thredUP will sort through your items, consign your good stuff, and recycle the rest. They're pretty picky, but you can make some good money without dragging all of your stuff to a thrift shop. You can either use the money at their store, donate it, or cash out through PayPal.
