Before you toss out your old outdoor gear, sporting goods, or collectibles during your spring cleaning, think about putting those items to good use — reuse.

From now until the end of April, when you buy and sell items on eBay you can support Leave No Trace and other nonprofits, like The Nature Conservancy, that work to protect the environment .

Simply designate Leave No Trace or another participating organization to receive 10 to 100 percent of your proceeds the next time you list something on eBay. In the past, LNT members have sold snowshoes, backpacks, patches, artwork, framed photos, books, and more.

Charity listings often get more bids and higher prices than regular eBay listings. You can boost your own sales and support Leave No Trace at the same time. Plus eBay gives you a fee credit for every eBay Giving Works donation.

Get started by visiting LNT’s “Spotlight the Environment” eBay page.
