We're into opportunity
Opportunity, built like a business.
Justice Industries is a nonprofit organization that utilizes social enterprise businesses to provide meaningful employment opportunities for individuals who face barriers to employment. At Justice Industries, we seek to employ people who are justice-impacted, in recovery, experiencing mental health challenges, survivors of domestic abuse, experiencing homelessness, or navigating generational poverty.
Our largest industry, Just.Glass offers both commercial and curbside residential pickups of your glass for recycling.

Justice Industries creates job opportunities for people experiencing barriers to employment by providing quality goods and services to the community, while offering employees stability, independence and upward mobility.

Quality work, done by people who earned the chance.
We provide hands-on training, employment experience, and ongoing support to individuals who face barriers to traditional employment. Many of our employees come to Justice Industries with education, job training, skills, and a strong desire to work, yet opportunities can remain limited because of a justice-involved history, gaps in employment, or other life circumstances. Justice Industries provides an opportunity to build experience, strengthen skills, and establish a solid work history while earning meaningful income.
