Recycling for cash? Old Navy teams up with TerraCycle to give you the ultimate shopping incentive
You know the old adage “do good, feel good”? Well, we firmly stand behind that, though we have to admit getting a little perk for doing good never hurts. As luck would have it, Old Navy and TerraCycle Canada have just teamed up to offer the Flip-Flop Brigade, an initiative that allows consumers to send in their old flip-flops to TerraCycle and receive an exclusive coupon to Old Navy in return.
Not only does that mean you have some extra cash to burn in-store, but you’ll be saving your old sandals from wasting away in a landfill. Instead, the worn down flip-flops will get a new life as they are recycled into everything from playgrounds to bike racks. This isn’t the first time Old Navy and TerraCycle have teamed up: they started a one-month flip-flop collection run last spring starting on Earth Day, and managed to recycle almost 20,000 flip-flops.
If you’ve been holding onto beat-down pairs of Havaianas or Old Navy flip-flops for far too long now, log on to TerraCycle to sign up for the brigade. Once you have a full box of sandals, you can print off a prepaid UPS shipping label to ship off your box at no cost.
