Target plans to give customers store gift cards for items that are accepted. Unwanted items will be "recycled responsibly," unless a customer asks for the items to be returned to them, according to the company.

There's no minimum amount that will be paid to people who donate their used stuff, so there's always a potential to earn nothing. Items listed for under $60 will be paid for upfront, while those listed for more than $60 will be listed as consignment meaning the payout will come once the item is sold.

Customers will get an email with information about which items have been accepted within 25 days of donating the items. They will also get their Target gift cards via email.
