How to earn cash from decluttering your home – from auction sites to recycling
ARE you feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff cluttering up your home?
Well, today’s the day to start your spring clean — as it’s World Recycling Day.
CASH BACK: If you haven’t got the time to sell your clothes on auction sites, try Loopi.com.
The website not only sells second-hand clothes but it has a new digital tool to help you sell your clothes by offering you an instant price.
Simply send your items (as long as they reach a sale value of over £15) and they will add up the price. Send them your clothes and they will credit your account with the cash.
Another option is WeJustRecycle.co.uk, which pays by the kilo for your unwanted garments, making it ideal for clearing out bulkier items.

STEP UP: Want to save money on new shoes for you or the kids? Recycle your old shoes by taking a pair to any Schuh store. As long as they don’t have any significant damage, you can claim a £5 voucher off a new pair of Schuh shoes.
SEND AND SAVE: Brands like Thrift+ send you pre-paid recycling bags to fill with clothes, shoes, and accessories. Once you’ve packed your items, just send the bag back for free.
They will handle the rest, whether it’s reselling, recycling, or donating, and you’ll earn rewards to spend on secondhand clothes, or cash in return.
ON YOUR MARKS: Take a bag of clothing to any M&S store and get a £5 voucher to spend on your next purchase of £35 or more.
DO SOME GOOD: If you’d rather donate, many charities offer free collection services.
Organisations such as the Salvation Army and Traid will pick up clothing in certain cities, making it a hassle-free way to support a good cause.
FUSS FREE: A simple way to get rid of unwanted clothes is to drop them off at a local recycling bank.
