The Container Store Inc. has launched a "Closet Clean Out" resale program that lets customers resell gently worn clothing and items for shopping credit with the brand.

The program is powered by thredUP's resale-as-a-service platform and The Container Store is the first custom closets retailer to use the technology, according to a press release.

"We at The Container Store believe in the power of organization to transform lives, and as a company, we are committed to a sustainable future for ourselves and our planet," Melissa Collins, CMO, The Container Store, said in the release. "We could not be happier with this program, where our customers can give new life to their belongings as they clean out and organize their spaces — and be rewarded with Container Store credit in the process. Together, we can slow fashion waste and reduce its impact on our planet."

To participate, customers can pick up a thredUP Clean Out Kit from any of The Container Store's 97 retail stores or generate a prepaid shipping label from containerstore.thredup.com, fill any shippable box or bag with apparel, shoes and accessories from any brand in their closet, and ship it to thredUP for free. For items that sell, customers receive an e-gift card that can be used at both The Container Store and online.

The Container Store Group Inc. is a specialty retailer of organizing solutions, custom spaces and in-home services launched in 1978.
