H&M Garment Recycling - Receive Voucher for Donating Your Old Garments

Lmissmelb on 29/12/2014 - 23:56

Just doing a bit of a read on reddit and the US guys were discussing how H&M offer 15% off for donating your old goods. On top of this, H&M donate to charities based on kilos.

So I decided to check out what Australia do and found they have something similar:

Is there a limit for how much I can hand in and do I get a reward?
There’s no limit on how many bags of clothing and home textiles you can hand in. For every bag you hand over you’ll receive one voucher, with a maximum of two vouchers per exchange (vouchers redeemable on your next purchase).

I'm not entirely sure what vouchers means in Australia. It looks like Australia doesn't really know about this as heading to the charity board (http://www.hm.charitystar.com/en/home/) Ausralia has donated 0kgs so far!

Anyway I thought this is pretty frugal, a great way to make savings and also donate money at the same time.
Enjoy!

    charge 15% more, give "voucher" for donations, write off labour as a charity expense, …, ???, profit!

    A lady I work with donated a bag of clothing at Melbourne H&M and she was told the 15% off was for one item only. Since she was purchasing more than one item, she could choose which item to claim the 15% off (of course she chose the most expensive item she was purchasing)

      well that's interesting - at least there was some discounted item for it. I wonder what they quantify as a bag of clothes??

        The lady I work with just donated a supermarket size bag full of clothing and they didn't look in it to see the condition of the clothing etc
