At Thriftier Labs, we turn the tide. By donating & disposing your clothing to science, you divert waste from landfills and waterways. Together, we innovate solutions to recycle, repurpose, and responsibly dispose of textiles—keeping them out of places they don’t belong and protecting water supplies for generations to come. When you have the choice between science or pollution, we're happy you chose Thriftier!
