The Container Store is the first custom closets retailer to collaborate with thredUP and this season, it is supporting spring cleaning with a newly announced Closet Clean Out resale program. With this program, The Container Store is making the most of thredUP’s Resale-as-a-Service so that customers can resell their gently-worn items for shopping credit at The Container Store.
As of May 1st, 2023, customers can earn a e-gift card to The Container Store by sending in women’s and kids’ clothing, as well as other items like shoes and accessories.
This initiative has the potential to not only support cleaner closets and more organized households but also a more sustainable planet with reduced fashion waste.
