At The Junk Movement, we believe in paying it forward. Our desire to help communities is at the forefront of everything we do. We try to donate, repurpose, or recycle, as much as we can and work with charities in Calgary to give items a second life while helping those in need. If you are looking for a local charity that will accept your items, you’ve come to the right place.
We are committed to donating or repurposing all used furniture, appliances, electronics, and other products that are still in working condition. These donations to organizations such as Women in Need Society, the Salvation Army and The Mustard Seed can help struggling individuals and communities to thrive.
