Vancouver-based 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is getting ready to do something special for children in need this holiday season.

 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has partnered with Second Chance Toys for what the two say will be the largest toy donation event to date. From November 12th to December 12th, 55 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchises across the United States will be collecting gently used toys free-of-charge during all regularly scheduled jobs.

To date, the two partners have helped divert over 400,000 pounds of plastic and waste from landfills, and delivered over 100,000 toys to charities who help children in need.


Brian Scudamore, founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, underscores the importance of this event, stating, "Witnessing the impact of this initiative reinforces our commitment to community welfare and environmental responsibility. This partnership with Second Chance Toys reflects our core values and the belief that every child deserves the joy of play, especially during the holiday season."

 All of the toys collected will be dropped off at charities in these franchises' local areas on December 13th, just in time for the holidays.
