Got Stuff?

You can donate those unwanted and unused items to the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County.

In preparation for their spring Use-It-Again garage sale, the organization will be taking donations of gently used items on Saturday, April 28 and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 30 – May 2, from 11 am until 3 pm, at the Algonquin Township Road District garage, 3702 U.S. 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 & 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.

“Reusing items is a Good Thing on many levels – you are keeping things out of the landfills, you are saving the energy & resources that would be have been used to create new items, and you are supporting a McHenry County non-profit,” said EDMC’s office administrator.

Sale dates for the garage sale are May 3rd through 5th, from 8am until 3pm.

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 the community with educational programs and volunteer action on pollution prevention, sustainable land use and energy and natural resource conservation.
