Simply put JUNKintoJOY is a program that makes useable discarded items available to agencies and individuals that can benefit from them.
A retail chain buys an out of business restaurant in Vance Co. and needs to discard old equipment before it can renovate. A food pantry in Durham has been feeding hundreds of needy people out of inadequate residential refrigerators. They could really use the two commercial refrigerators being discarded from the restaurant.
A lakefront homeowner renovating his recreation area needs to discard several kitchen cabinets and pre-hung doors that are in very good condition. Just so happens our truck goes right past a Habitats store on the way to the land fill.
Recycled steel becomes money in the hands of a faith based organization building a medical center in Kenya.
That's JUNKintoJOY.
