An Acre of Carpet Squares
Tickets for our 2nd Annual Steel City Big Pour are going fast!! Last year we sold 750 tickets for each of the two sessions. This year the event will be even bigger with 1,000 tickets available for each session. As of the writing of this Blast, Friday August 22, 2008, we have sold over 800 tickets for the second session (5 pm to 8 pm). If you are interested in attending the second session of the Steel City Big Pour, then NOW is the time to purchase your tickets. This event will sell out.
Purchase tickets through ProArts Tickets or by calling 412-394-3353. Check out this article about this year's upcoming event.

The CJ Buzz
Bonnie just gave me the low down on what's coming into CJ and it's some good stuff.
- An acre of carpet squares... no joke! We're getting thousands of square feet of barely used, commercial grade, 18" x 18" carpet squares. The colors are neutral. If we remember correctly... in the blues and tans. The logistics need to be worked out as of yet, but we'll keep you posted as to when this donation will be arriving.
- Arriving Friday August 22, 2008... thirty (that's 30!) matching bookshelves from an attorney's office. The bookshelves are wood, cherry in color, and approximately 4' wide by 7' high. Shelves are adjustable.
- Next week we'll be receiving the contents of an office including five or so nice conference tables, 75 - 80 newer office chairs, four kitchenettes and six mini kitchenettes with stainless steel tops.

E-Waste Recycling at CJ
Construction Junction is always receiving emails from folks who want to know how they can recycle electronic waste and we're happy to report that, through a new collaboration with eLoop llc, we're expanding our electronic waste (e-waste) recycling program. Starting today, August 1, 2008, here's how the new program will work:
New Sold Item Policy
Last month, July 2008, Construction Junction broke a record. We had more purchases in that month than in any month prior... 2558 to be exact. This certainly is very good news and we appreciate your continued and loyal support. As we grow we work to improve our operations and as such, starting Monday August 4, 2008, we're adopting a new sold item policy.

I was wondering whether you accept old computer monitors? Is there a fee? -- Ryan
Do you recycle computer floppy disks and/or CD-ROMs? -- Alexis
Ryan and Alexis -- Construction Junction has started a new collaboration with an E-Waste recycling company called eLoop and as such the answer to your questions is YES. See the announcement above for more great information about eLoop and how this new program works. This is a fee based service and the cost for recycling a computer monitor is $10. Floppy disks and/or CD media costs $0.10 each (that's ten cents each). -- Cozmo
