In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:; Z4 b0 l9 @& S% Z

) b9 ?. l1 p- p" a! ~"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
& Z; ~3 T0 N/ @! k/ a
' t+ f/ {: \% D5 ]0 y% ~6 S"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
6 ^5 X+ X) ?$ d4 A  w3 q# \3 |: _, o) D- c8 I
In other contexts, "to reject something" implies that something is taken into one's possession, or is under one's consideration, but is then a decision is subsequently taken to return or discard it. In these cases, "reject" is often preferred to "refuse". For example:$ B1 c0 y2 d" @4 [0 z
% s" y+ d4 c, {* `3 j
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." 4 `  R1 \2 j; [" W6 e
6 g2 g; y/ ?2 Q: i
"He rejected my idea."
5 r: k# d: E& `, I5 p' C' N$ S  ]$ C1 L" r
"I applied for the job but was rejected."# j+ C( B# C) s% Q' I, P) m
  A; X  W3 g6 c/ j
Some other differences that come to mind:4 A" A1 G, Z6 z; N0 V

% Z5 s, E/ o5 v( Q6 }! z"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.

3 D. T" T# I$ j; b"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
% \; ^2 I& X5 }: l7 t
- M: W9 I) A) xYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

"I refused / rejected his job offer."

Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.

Another word carrying the similar meaning is "decline," which appears to be more polite. For instance, my request to have a two-month vacation in the summer was declined.
