RECYCLE YOUR OLD JEANS WITH US
Team Madewell helped Habitat for Humanity insulate a rehabbed home in Yonkers, New York.
Stop by one of our stores with your pre-loved pairs (bring in a whole pile from any brand: the low-rise bootcuts, the bright-pink skinnies, your dad’s relaxed fits). We’ll turn them into housing insulation for communities in need—and give you $20 off new ones.*
HOW TO HELP OUT?
IT’S AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3.
Step 1
Bring your old jeans into any of our stores, year-round.
Step 2
We’ll send them to our friends at Blue Jeans Go Green™ to recycle into housing insulation.
Step 3
You’ll get $20 off a new pair of jeans (yay!).*
For a limited time, we’re enclosing a postage-paid mailer with every purchase you make at madewell.com. It’s basically a handy-dandy Jeans Transformer. Simply pop a pair into the envelope and send— zero legwork required (we’ll take care of the rest). Plus, you'll get $20 off a new pair in our stores.* Win-win.
DROP OFF YOUR JEANS ANY TIME, ALL YEAR
