'Stuff' wanted for Environmental Defenders' garage sale
In preparation for its annual spring garage sale, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will be taking donations of gently used items from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, May 11-13, at the Algonquin Township Road District garage, 3702 Route 14, between Crystal Lake and Cary; drive back to the last beige garage on the right.
What type of things will be accepted? Just about anything that is re-sellable, with a few exceptions: small appliances and electronics must be in working order, no monitors or TVs, no clothes, no baby carriers or cribs, no large appliances or upholstered furniture. Not sure if they'll take it? Email mcdef@owc.net or call (815) 338-0393.
The Defenders have been involved with diverting things from the landfills for 45 years, and doing a garage sale is a form of recycling. Buying secondhand items instead of new ones, keeps things out of the landfills, saves you money, and supports a McHenry County nonprofit.
Garage sale hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, May 14-16.
The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The group is dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the environment, and provides the community with educational programs and volunteer action on pollution prevention, sustainable land use and energy and natural resource conservation.
