CJ's new bulb & battery recycling

We have an announcement we're very excited to make. Starting on Sunday, November 1st, 2009, Construction Junction will accept certain lightbulbs, ballasts and alkaline batteries for recycling! We're able to offer this service through a collaboration with Scott Electric.

Here's the skinny...

Lightbulbs are $1 each to recycle and must not be broken or coated. We'll accept:

fluorescent tubes 4' long and under
compact fluorescent lightbulbs
incandescant lightbulbs (includes halogen bulbs)
fluorescent "u" or circle lamps
high intensity discharge bulbs including high pressure sodium, mercury halide and mercury vapor

Batteries are .25 cents each to recycle and must have their terminals taped (any tape will do). We can only accept alkaline batteries.

Ballasts, either electronic or magnetic, are $1 per pound to recycle and must not be leaking.

Happy recycling!

The CJ Buzz

If you're looking for office furniture you'll be happy to know that we're in the process of receiving a number of large donations of office furniture from a variety of organizations including Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, Riverlife and one of Pennsylvania's state office buildings. It is great to note the diversity of these donors... one is a private company, another is a nonprofit organization and the last is our local state government. We certainly appreciate that donations come to us from all sectors!

CJ Q&A

I have a platform bed, queen sized. Is this something I could donate to you? -- Barbara

CJ doesn't accept mattresses but Off the Floor Pittsburgh does. Off the Floor is a volunteer based organization that provides basic used furniture like beds, dressers, tables, and chairs to the neediest families in Pittsburgh who lack these items and are literally living on the floor of their homes (PG article). For more information go to their website or call 412-926-5053. -- Cozmo
