Thrift Ahoy
Sustainability. Saving. Safety
Thrift Ahoy wants to make college students life better.
Sustainability
Tackling ESG
Did you know annually every college student produces a whopping 640 pounds of trash? 😬 Statistics show that the majority of which accumulates at the end of the year during move-out. We want to help our environment and decrease this number as much as we can. 🌍
Saving
Affordability and monetary comfort
We came as students to other students to help one another facilitate earning and spending during our college time. We want to save every penny we can so we can spend it on other things 👀😬🎉
Safety
Comfortability and distances
We all understand how hard it is to move out or graduate and have brand new things that need to be thrown away. 🗑 We want all college students to not feel stressed and find instant buyers to recoup some money back 💸 If you do not have a car and are new in town, it stresses you out. Having a community within campus will facilitate internal mobility and have the items you bought in a faster manner. ⏳

Location pin

The location pin helps identify where on campus is most comfortable for the two individuals to meet and exchange product. ✔️
