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

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, May 2, from 8am until 7pm, and Friday And
Saturday May 3-4 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. For more
