Next Week You Can Trade in Your Jeans at Target for a Discount

We all have those jeans we don't want to throw away while fully acknowledging we are never going to wear them — and Target is trying a new solution. Bring in your used denim and exchange it for a discount on brand-new denim purchases. You will have to be a Target Circle member to participate, so grab your free membership before the event begins on Aug. 4. 

Savvy shoppers are always looking for ways to stretch their budget and save money at Target, so the new Denim Take Back Event will offer the triple-whammy of cleaning out your closet, getting value out of the clothes you don't want, and giving you brand new jeans you love. It's a win-win-win. Find out all the details about how to trade in your jeans.

From Aug. 4 through 10, Target Circle members can bring in any used denim clothing and exchange it for 20% off a new denim purchase. There is a limit of five items, but denim apparel in any condition will be accepted. 

Store locations marked for the event have boxes where you can deposit your old jeans. You'll then receive a Target Circle code for 20% off denim apparel. Just be sure to redeem the offer before the event is over. 

When Target says all denim apparel, they mean all—every brand is included in this new promotion, including Target-owned brands and national brands. 

The only limitation is that accessories do not count as apparel and clearance items are excluded. 

There will, of course, be jean pants available in many styles — but that's not all! Target has classic jean jackets with that 90s look, or go full-length with a denim trench coat. 

Skirts, shorts, overalls — any apparel that can be denim is part of this new Target event for Circle members. 

The Denim Take Back Event by Target recognizes the growing consumer concern over reducing waste and is an effort to curate sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Target partners will give used denim new life by recycling or repurposing it, keeping it out of landfills. 

Combining a good deal with environmental sustainability encourages better consumer practices, making it more affordable to recycle old jeans than toss them in the garbage. You might know nobody wants your old torn-up jeans, but Target has made throwing them away like throwing money away — and nobody likes that! 

Be sure to clean out your closet by Aug. 4 so you can participate in the Denim Take Back Event. Also, remember to sign up for Target Circle if you haven't already.
