With summer behind us, it's the perfect time to declutter your wardrobe and make some extra cash. Here are four savvy ways to earn rewards for recycling and selling your unwanted items.
Sell on Vinted
After the chaos of the school holidays, go through your family's wardrobes and gather any decent clothes that the kids have outgrown. You can sell these items on Vinted. Don't forget to check your own wardrobe for coats, boots, and back-to-school items that could sell well. Autumn updates, like handbags, are also in demand.
Toy sale ahoy
Take a look at your kids' shelves and identify toys they've fallen out of love with. Anything unopened or unused can make great gifts, which will save you money on birthday presents. You can sell good quality toys at a car boot sale or online to boost your Christmas funds.
Reap the rewards
When decluttering, you may come across items that you think are destined for the bin. However, many of these items can be recycled in exchange for rewards. For example, if you recycle five empty toiletry or cosmetic containers at a Boots store, you'll receive a voucher for 500 bonus Advantage Card points, worth £5, when you spend £10 at Boots. You can also take a bag of textiles to H&M and get a £5 off voucher for a £25 purchase. And if your old school shoes are too battered to sell, you can recycle them at Schuh and receive a £5 off voucher for your next £25 purchase.
In a fix
Before throwing out broken items, consider getting them fixed. From shoes that need re-heeling to gadgets that no longer work, many things can be repaired. Look for repair groups in your community, as they can help fix your items and give them a new lease on life.
