Target is introducing its first chain-wide "Denim Take Back Event" in early August and offering participants a discount, the company announced Monday.

From August 4-10, customers can recycle their used or outgrown denim of any brand in-store and receive 20% off a new denim apparel purchase with Target Circle, the company said.

Customers can bring up to five denim items, in any condition, to a Target store and drop them in the marked in-store boxes. Customers will then receive a Target Circle promo code for their 20% discount, which can be used on Target-owned brands like Universal Thread and Wild Fable, in addition to national brands like Levi's, Target said in the news release. Customers can then redeem the Target Circle offer between August 4-10.

"Our new Denim Take Back Event is an easy way for families to give their used denim a new life," says Gena Fox, Target's senior vice president of merchandising for apparel and accessories, in the news release.

"With back-to-school and college shopping top of mind for families, we're offering this 20% off Target Circle deal to make it even more affordable for our guests to refresh their denim wardrobes, while also doing our part to reduce waste and keep used denim out of landfills," Fox said in the news release.

Target says the Denim Take Back Event responds to "growing consumer interest in products and programs that help reduce waste" and says the event builds on the success of the chain's Car Seat Trade-in Program, which the company says has recycled 2.6 million car seats and nearly 40 million pounds of materials since 2016.
