DonatE

Since its founding in 1999, Construction Junction has received more than 250,000 items donated by 2,300 individuals and companies. In addition to reusable items, you can also donate your time, by volunteering to sort, clean and stock inventory. 

Free Pickup Service

Free pickup is available for larger donations, at no charge. Our truck is generally fully booked for about a week ahead of time (thank you Pittsburgh!), so please be sure to plan ahead to allow us to get your donation into our schedule. The fastest way to request a pickup is to click here - we check online pickup requests daily Monday through Friday - fill out the form and we'll contact you promptly to discuss your donation.

Tax Deductions for You or Your Client

Waste generated by construction can be reduced through the socially and environmentally responsible act of donation. Your donation of overstocked inventory and gently used construction materials and supplies may benefit a low-income family that shops at Construction Junction. We provide an itemized receipt of your donations for tax deductions. You assign the value to our item.

Regain Valuable Storage Space

Have you accumulated more construction and remodeling materials than you have room for? Are you tired of the clutter and buildup of construction materials that have no reuse purpose for you? Show your support for a cleaner environment, and keep us stocked as a valuable source of building materials for your projects tomorrow or years from now. Before you throw everything out, contact Construction Junction. We can clear out your garage or warehouse of useable building materials, and free up your area of items that are just wasting space.

Donation Qualifications

The main thing to remember is that we are a reuse store, so acceptable items have to be in a suitable condition that another user can buy them to use in their home, yard or construction project.
Construction Junction receives hundreds of items every week. Material handling is our greatest challenge and largest expense. We try our best to keep our list of acceptable materials up to date, but if you don't see your item on the list please contact us before you bring it in or arrange a pick up.
We inspect all donations and reserve the right to reject material that cannot be resold, items we may currently have overstocked, and items we are unable to accept at all like chemicals and items for disposal. Remember we are not a disposal service and cannot afford to throw your material away.
