H&M and Lyft Partner to Make It Easier to Recycle Your Clothes
H&M has long accepted clothing donations as part of its recycling plan. But now it is making it easier for New Yorker’s to drop off their clothes. The company has partnered with Lyft to give free rides up to $10 to those looking to donate unwanted clothes to the retailer’s garment collection program. Citing the popularity of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo for inspiring people to clean out their closets, H&M and Lyft would rather see the items recycled than thrown away. The promotion is available now through January 27 to the first 5000 customers to use the promo code HMRECYCLES to any H&M location in NY. In return for at least one clothing item, from any brand and in any condition, customers will also receive 15% off an H&M purchase.
