In
preparation for their annual spring garage sale, the Environmental
Defenders of McHenry County will be taking donations of gently used
items on Saturday, May 9th, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May
11-13, from 10 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 last 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 or upholstered
furniture. 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 45 years, and 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 EDMC’s fund raising committee.
Sale
dates for the garage sale are Thursday-Saturday, May 14-16 from 9am
until 4pm.
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.
