Summer is kicking into high gear at CJ! We have lots of cool stuff in the store and both our pick-up and deconstruction crew have been super busy. So dress in your coolest (and most comfortable) summertime duds and pay us a visit this weekend. The Pittsburgh Po’Boy truck will be here from 11a-3p on Saturday, as well.

Other cool CJ happenings include signing up new Steel City Big Pour sponsors for our 10th annual event. Check out the Big Pour page and don’t forget to like The Steel City Big Pour on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. (Some sponsorship opportunities still available.)

Several members of CJ’s staff conducted a webinar of our new inventory system through the Building Material Reuse Association (BMRA) https://bmra.org/ website this week. The BMRA webinar was very successful, with over 30 reuse organizations participating in the presentation!.

Project RE_ is continuing to build the second version of the NOBARRIER shed at a garden site in Hazelwood and our job training partnership with Goodwill of Southwestern PA and the Trade Institute of Pittsburgh are continuing to grow.

Our friends at Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse have a group art show up in their space right now that you should check out. The entrance to their space is at N. Lexington and Thomas Blvd!

Let’s make it the Summer of Reuse!
