Inspired by the piles of unused cables that every household seems to have, Staples put a creative twist on the classic cable knit sweater vest. The "Cable" Knit Sweater vest is woven with real cords and brings attention to Staples as a destination for recycling difficult-to-recycle items with the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Giveaway.
For a limited time, Staples is inviting customers to recycle their old cables, cords and other technology at Staples stores nationwide, for free, and they'll be eligible for a chance to win an exclusive, limited-edition “cable” knit sweater vest. On top of this, everyone who recycles will get an instant $10 off $30 coupon and Staples Easy Rewards members will also earn 1,000 points that they might consider putting toward a thoughtful Father's Day gift.
