4. H&M

Since 2013, H&M has been offering a garment recycling service across all their stores – and if you get involved, you’d be both helping the environment and earning a little extra cash.

Now, it should be pointed out that the “cash” comes in the form of H&M vouchers, which can only be used on purchased above a certain value (that varies by country), but it’s still worthwhile.

The clothes that are accepted can be any brand, in any condition, at any of H&M’s stores, and at any time of year. Simply hand in your bag of old clothes at the cash desk and you’ll get your vouchers – and all clothes will either be reused, reworn or recycled, with absolutely none of them going to landfill.
