As far as I think We reject something we recieve:
Eg: Transplant patients take powerful drugs so that their body will not reject the new kidney or heart.

Eg: Hilary bundled up the clothes she had discarded
But still I'm skeptical about it
As the web dictionary says Discard and reject are synonyms
They are not interchangeable in most contexts.
