Construction Junction is Western Pennsylvania's only non-profit material reuse organization. They stock their 30,000 sq. ft. retail warehouse with still usable materials that would otherwise be bound for a landfill. The organization has a wide variety of surplus, second-hand, and salvaged items, including kitchen cabinets, doors, millwork, windows, lighting, hardware, households goods, clothing, and home & office furnishings. They operate 2 box trucks to assist donors in picking up materials from their home or business, as well as a deconstruction crew that does salvage work from properties undergoing renovation or before demolition. Construction Junction's mission is to support and promote conservation through the reuse of materials. Customers praise the organization's affordable prices and the variety of selections available, from building materials to household items. They also highlight the potential for creativity, with the ability to "build and design just about anything" in the space. The reviews suggest that local schools could benefit from utilizing the organization's resources and facilities. While the organization currently does not allow children under 12, the reviews suggest that an influx of volunteers could help expand their community outreach.
