In preparation for its spring garage sale, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will take donations of gently used items from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 15, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, May 16-18, at the Algonquin Township Road District garage, 3702 Route 14, between Crystal Lake and Cary.

Drive back to the 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.

"The Defenders have been involved with diverting things from the landfills for over 45 years. 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 non-profit," said Christy Matsuoka, EDMC's office administrator.

Sale dates for the garage sale are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, May 19-21.
