Did you know you can get money off at plenty of high street stores - just by donating your old clothes?
Not only is it great money-saving, but you’re also helping the planet - and clearing out your wardrobe.
Some of the retailers that run donation schemes include H&M, New Look, Schuh, River Island and Marks and Spencer.
In some cases, you can get a £5 voucher or 15% off. Here is everything you need to know.
Don't want to use one of these schemes?

Another way to make the most of unwanted clothes is to sell them online or donate to a charity shop.
H&M - £5 voucher
H&M shoppers can get a £5 voucher if they recycle a bag of unwanted clothes.
It doesn't have to be H&M products either, or clothes for that matter - any sort of textiles can be donated, as the fabric can be recycled.
The voucher can only be used against a future transaction worth at least £25.
Marks and Spencer/Oxfam - £5 voucher
If you donate items to Oxfam, you can get a £5 voucher to spend at M&S.
One item must have originally been purchased from M&S, and you can only use the voucher in the same month against a £35 spend on clothing, home or beauty products.
There are other ways to get money back at M&S.
If you're a member of the Sparks loyalty scheme, you can get a free treat by scanning a QR code when you make a donation in stores.
You can also trade in your old M&S school uniform and receive 20% off selected kids’ clothing.
John Lewis - £5 voucher
John Lewis shoppers who are signed up to the free My John Lewis loyalty scheme can get a £5 voucher when they donate five or more items of pre-loved clothing.

You need to be making a new purchase in store when donating the clothes.
The type of clothing accepted includes: Clean shirts, T-shirts, jumpers, cardigans, jackets, coats, shorts, trousers, jeans, childrenswear, dresses, jumpsuits, skirts and school uniforms.
John Lewis won't accept: Underwear, lingerie, socks, tights, accessories, footwear, handbags, swimwear, baby vests, baby grows, towels, bedding and nightwear.
The items don't have to originally have been from John Lewis.
The £5 voucher can be used towards another purchase of at least £20 on menswear, womenswear and childrenswear.
River Island - £5 voucher
If you send at least three items to Reskinned - this is free to do, as they provide a postage label - you’ll get a £5 voucher to use at River Island.
The voucher is only valid for one month and can only be spent on purchases above £40.
New Look - 15% off
Drop off a bag of pre-loved clothes to a participating hospice shop and you'll get 15% off your next shop at New Look.
There are over 200 hospice shops participating - see list here - and to get your voucher, you need to scan a QR code at the store counter.
There doesn't appear to be a minimum spend limit but the items you purchase need to be full-priced, so not in the sale or already discounted.
Schuh - £5 voucher
For every pair of shoes you donate to Schuh, you'll get a £5 voucher to spend in stores.
The shoes don't have to have been purchased from Schuh.
When you get the voucher, it has to be redeemed against a £25 spend.
