ThriftJam co-founders launched the first Thrift Bus in Utah in 2020. Instead of functioning as a donation-based thrift, the thrift bus offers a curated selection of vintage and reworked items sourced from recycling centers worldwide. This ethical supply chain enables us to leave local donation-based thrift stores and goodwill bins untouched and available to people in need. Although sourcing from recycling centers is far more expensive than local options, it allows us to offer both an ethical and highly curated shopping experience for our customers.
