In March 2010, 123Junk partnered with the Northern Virginia affiliate of Habitat for Humanity. Since then, we've been telling everyone we can about our partnership. It's a big part of who we are as a company, and the partnership keeps us focused on the things that really make a difference; namely, finding a purpose for the items we pick up that doesn't involve burying them in a landfill.

Habitat for Humanity raises money partly through a series of resale locations known as Habitat for Humanity ReStore. These stores specialize in selling new or gently used items for 50 – 90% less than standard retail prices.

The funds from ReStore locations go toward Habitat for Humanity projects like Perry Hall Condominiums in Arlington.

Lots of our clients already know about our partnership, but not so many people realize the range of items Habitat for Humanity ReStores accept. Some of the most common items that 123Junk drops off:

Household furniture

•  Bedroom furniture
•  Dining room sets (with chairs)
•  Entertainment centers
•  Couches (stain-free, no tears)
•  Televisions
•  Used Appliances (less than 10 years old)

Office furniture

•  Office chairs
•  Bookcases
•  File Cabinets
