Between your kids outgrowing their jeans from the previous year and you realizing you’re not so into the denim in your closet, and you’re ready for a fresh start this fall, you probably have a whole pile of unwanted jeans in your home right now. Luckily, Target is here to save the day!
Target announced on July 29 that it will be hosting its first official ‘Denim Take Back Event’ from Aug. 4 to 10. This in-store event will allow shoppers who bring in their used denim to score a 20% off discount! We’ll break down all the details below.
Target’s Denim Take Back Event Details
As we shared above, Target’s Denim Take Back Event will run from Aug. 4 to Aug. 10. During this time, you can bring in up to five used denim items, and in exchange for your drop-off, you will receive a 20% off promo code via Target Circle. This discount can then be redeemed for a one-time discount on an entire denim apparel purchase.
The denim you bring in can be in any condition, although we recommend you clean it before bringing it in. You can still receive the discount if you only have one item to donate, but the maximum allowance is five. And since it says denim items, this doesn’t only apply to jeans, you could bring in denim shorts, denim shirts or denim jackets too.
What Happens to the Denim You Donate?
Not only does this event help you save on your next denim purchase at Target – in addition to the retailer’s own brands, like Universal Thread, Wild Fable, Goodfellow & Co and Cat & Jack, you can find tons of Levi’s styles – it helps you clear out clutter from your home and keeps your denim out of landfills.
“Our new Denim Take Back Event is an easy way for families to give their used denim a new life,” Gena Fox, Target’s senior vice president of merchandising for apparel and accessories, shared in Target’s press release. “With back-to-school and college shopping top of mind for families, we’re offering this 20% off Target Circle deal to make it even more affordable for our guests to refresh their denim wardrobes, while also doing our part to reduce waste and keep used denim out of landfills.”
The materials from the denim you bring in will be recycled and repurposed by Target’s partners.
Target Circle
The discount will be applied to your Target Circle account. If you aren’t a Target Circle member, there’s really no reason not to sign up. This rewards program is completely free to join and comes with many perks, like exclusive discounts. Note: There is also a paid tier of Target Circle, if you’re interested.
By the way, if you have the Target Circle Card will save an extra 5% on your denim purchase – on top of the Denim Take Back 20% off promo.
Is Target’s Denim Take Back Event In-Store Only?
You will need to visit your local Target store in person to donate your denim (there will be marked boxes in stores). However, you can use your Target Circle discount in-store, on the Target app or online at Target.com – just make sure you shop between Aug. 4 and Aug. 10. Downloading the Target app comes with a $5 reward too.
