Environmental Defenders of McHenry to celebrate Earth Day
On Saturday, April 30, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will once again co-sponsor the countywide Earth Day celebration with the McHenry County Conservation District from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at MCCD’s Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake.
A regular service by the Defenders at this annual event is offering the opportunity for people to bring in hard-to-recycle items. With the help of their partners, Computer Recycling Center and Ken Santowski of Chicago Logistic Services, the Defenders will accept athletic shoes, electronics, white Styrofoam block, packing peanuts, reusable Bubble Wrap, fluorescent tubes and household batteries.
A donation is requested to offset the cost of recycling computer monitors, televisions and fluorescent tubes.
