🎄 Junk for Jingles sincerely appreciates everyone’s support through Scrap Metal donations!

A little about JFJ: We are a nonprofit charity with one goal in mind—to purchase Christmas presents for as many local children on the Salvation Army Angel Tree as possible.

JFJ is run by kids who are full-time students and parents who work full-time (and then some!).

We get asked a lot "What Do You Accept?" The list of what we cannot accept is much shorter.
No tires, furniture - couches, clothes, garbage, liquids etc. If unsure please ask.

Thank you again for your support, donations, and patience. Every piece of scrap metal helps us bring a little more Christmas joy to local children and families in our community! 🎄🎁❤️

JFJ is run by kids who are full-time students and parents who work full-time (and then some!). Because of that, we schedule scrap metal pickups as our time, family commitments, and weather conditions allow, which can vary throughout the year.

If you have items to donate and need them picked up within a day, we likely won’t be able to accommodate that request. However, if you can give us a week or two, that’s fantastic and greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for your support, donations, and patience. Every piece of scrap metal helps us bring a little more Christmas joy to local children and families in our community! 🎄🎁❤️

Along with everyone that donated metal, vehicles and monetarily! Merry Christmas and God Bless! 🎄🎁
