Greetings Reuse Fans,
We thank you for your support during GiveBig Pittsburgh. We raised $1,100 to support our Goodwill job trainees – that will buy them a lot of necessary equipment! We have also had very strong donations and sales in October and November. That support is what keeps CJ going, as a community resource to help keep reusable building materials from the landfill, creating employment for a wide variety of individuals including those with disabilities, and enabling us to ReGive building materials to other nonprofits!
As we enter into the month of December, we want to remind you that if you have building materials in storage or in surplus inventory that you want to clear out, this is your last month to donate it CJ to deduct the value on your taxes for 2017! This month can get busy for our pick up crews, so if you have more material than you can fit into your truck, call to schedule ours soon!
On another positive note, CJ is beginning to work successfully with nonprofit organizations that work with small business start-ups. We’ve been successful in matching start-ups that need commercial kitchen equipment with used materials. So if you have commercial kitchen equipment in good working condition, please call our donation department.We will work with you to evaluate if it’s an item we can accept to help build Pittsburgh’s small business community!
