This is name of the store chain, which is growing very fast in india and have lot of offers for almost everybody and i was shocked to see their advertisement, which says that bring your old torn cloths or useless tyres or dumped material..i mean all garbage to them and get heavy discount on items...what is in your country? Do you get these kind of offers...

We have resale shops here, but nothing like what you are describing. It sounds like a really good concept. Wish we had that here. I have all kinds of things I would trade for a discount

its a very good concept and people liked very much here as many people are from lower class who can not spend much but almost every home have this garbage with them like tyres, useless utensils, glass bottles and even old newspapers and other things..so good for them...

Oh my goodness, no. We never have any offers for someone to take our garbage, unless it is like a broken down car or old boat. Something that they can fix and then sell and make a profit on it. Of course, then they still do not want to give you very much for it. And it isn't a resale shop, it is usually a place wanting you to donate it, and then you can write it off on your taxes. It's not the same as a discount really.
We do have one place that will give you a discount on purchases of used goods if you donate good clothing and other unwanted items to them. They usually give you a 15 percent discount coupon at the Goodwill store, plus you still get the tax deduction of course.
