TV recycling
We have an important event to tell you about this week. Of course it's the Don't Trash That TV! Event happening in our parking lot on Saturday, February 21, from 10am to 2pm.
During this event only, our standard rates for TV recycling will be reduced. Find out more under News & Events. If you can't make it on February 21st then don't fret. You can bring your TV for recycling on any other day CJ is open. Whatever you do... just don't send it to the landfill.
Brought to you by the Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) with support from Waste Management and the City of Pittsburgh. PRC is Construction Junction's parent organization and needless to say, one of our favorite organizations.
The CJ Buzz
This week's buzz is easy because it's right in the thumbnails below. Our Waste to Charity tractor trailer load of goodies just arrived and as such we're unpacking, unpacking, unpacking. What you ask? We're unpacking high quality lighting fixtures that we're pricing for a fraction of their typical retail cost. Be sure to check out the pictures of all the lighting fixtures under Recent Arrivals below and you'll see why we think this is "buzzworthy". Also, the pictures we've taken only represent a small portion of the total lighting fixtures we have and we're unpacking more and more everyday.

CJ Q&A
Do you know where I can recycle used outdoor Christmas lights? -- Cori
Cori -- Try this company, Christmas Light Source. It looks like they recycle Christmas lights and use the proceeds to benefit children's programs. Hope this helps. -- Cozmo
