About:
About Beyond the Blue Box is a registered Charity. We have been in operation since 1992. Story Founded 22 years ago with the twin objectives of diverting waste and offering developmentally challenged individuals work opportunities, BBB has blossomed into an environmental success story and surpassed every criterion its founders set. Today, more than a million pounds of waste is diverted from our landfills every year. From one paid staff person, we now employ 11 full-time staff and provide work experience for 15 developmentally challenged individuals; of whom five are full-time, five are part time and five are high school students. Over 15 years, in close co-operation with the West Northumberland Community Living, we have helped more than 45 people participate in a work environment. We have also helped hundreds of young people perform community service under the Community Probation Services program since 2000. . This past year BBB continued its practice of helping fire victims and women establishing new homes with household items. One hundred families were assisted through referrals of local agencies. Mission We are here to provide work, social, and training opportunities for developmentally challenged individuals, while promoting reduction, re-use, and recycling of waste in Northumberland County.
