Spring Cleaning Can Be Helpful To The Budget

Spring cleaning? How can that stuff from your attic or storeroom bring you a tax deduction and help the environment?

By donating that stuff to the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County! The organization will be taking donations of gently used items for their spring garage sale from May 21 through May 25, 11 am until 3 pm, at the Algonquin Township Road District garage, 3702 U.S. Route 14, between Crystal Lake and Cary.

What type of things will be accepted? Just about anything that is re-sellable, with a few exceptions: small appliances & electronics must be in working order, no monitors or TVs, no clothes, no baby carriers or cribs, no large appliances. Not sure if they’ll take it? Call the office at 815-338-0393, or email mcdef@owc.net.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit 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 community residents with educational programs and volunteer action on pollution prevention, sustainable land use and energy and natural resource conservation. For more information, visit or call 815-338-0393
