Preparing For 'Use It Again' Garage Sale

In preparation for their summer “Use-It-Again” garage sale, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will be taking donations of gently used items on Saturday & Sunday, July 14 and 15, Saturday, July 21 and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23 – July 25, 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? Email mcdef@owc.net or call 815-338-0393.

“The Defenders have been involved with diverting things from the landfills for over 40 years. Doing a garage sale is a form of recycling. Buying second hand 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 Thursday, July 26, from 8am until 7pm, and Friday And Saturday July 27-28 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
