History

Founded in the late spring of 2004, Thrift Recycling Management, Inc. (TRM) has become the largest seller of used media on the internet. Phil McMullin, while working for a large recycling company, noticed that most used books were being thrown into landfills. Phil initially partnered with Amazon.com and software provider Monsoon to begin selling these used books online. TRM was created to take advantage of the resulting business opportunity.

The founders of TRM are Phil McMullin (CEO), Jeff McMullin (President), Clive Midgen (VP Online Operations) and Michael Eastman (VP Technology & Development).

Mission

To reduce the cycle of poverty by providing access to books to those in need.  To ease the pressure on landfills by promoting reuse and recycling.
