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.

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.

How it works
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.
Which brands are eligible
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.
It's not just pants
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.
Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Bottom line
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.
