On Earth Day, donate used furniture and earn rewards
Earth Day is a time to promote earth-friendly practices such as recycling and sustainable living. Unfortunately, it can be challenging for people to find responsible and easy solutions for furniture they can no longer use.
By partnering with IKEA US, Goodwill Industries of Metropolitan Chicago will offer a simple and rewarding solution for donating used furniture with its first "furniture take back."
During IKEA's "Sustainable Living Your Way" event on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22, representatives from Goodwill will be on hand at the Bolingbrook and Schaumburg IKEA parking lots between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to accept your furniture donations and issue important tax receipts.
As a reward for your generous donation, you'll earn a coupon for $20 off an IKEA purchase of $150 or more, valid April 22 through May 21, 2017 (limit one per household).
The event also will include an array of in-store activities, including workshops, giveaways and discounts.
IKEA family members will have the chance to win a $100 gift card (four winners per store), as well as a SLADDA bicycle ($399 value, one winner per store), and sustainable living games and workshops will take place throughout the day.
The furniture received at IKEA "Sustainable Living Your Way" events will be sold in Goodwill stores and the revenue will be used to create job training and placement opportunities for people in our community.
