IKEA Retail U.S. will not be participating in the global Buy Back program this November. We are working to bring the Buy Back service to the U.S., and will launch the program when we can deliver the best possible experience for both our stores and customers. Please hold on to your used IKEA furniture or find other ways to donate or recycle them at this time.

This Black Friday, in place of deals and offers, IKEA Retail U.S. is encouraging customers to turn their Black Friday green. From November 27-30, the IKEA U.S. website will not only be green in color, but it will also feature green guides for living a more sustainable life at home. We are also debuting four fun illustrations done in the same style as the iconic IKEA step-by-step graphic instructions, which feature some easy sustainability tips for the holiday season.

We want to thank our customers who enable IKEA to lead the way in sustainability. Every individual action, whether big or small, is a meaningful part of our larger, globally impactful mission.
