From holidays to casual weekend get-togethers, summer is the time of year when we crack open an ice cold beverage while hanging out with family and friends. But, when we’re done enjoying our drinks, what happens to the aluminum cans? Do we just through them away? Here at Gerstad Builders we have a better idea.

Those residing at the McHenry County real estate at Liberty Trails can recycle their aluminum cans all summer long. Cans will be collected weekly and stored until the end of summer. By September, the cans will be sold for cash. The cash will then be donated to a local food pantry.

So good neighbors at Liberty Trails, let’s join together and do a good thing for our community! Save, save, save and then donate.

If you want to participate in Liberty Trails recycling efforts but don’t live in the community, then we have great news for you. Recently, we’ve rolled back our new home prices all the way back to 2003. Plus, the first 10 buyers who close on homes in 2011 will receive an additional 10 percent off, making these new homes more affordable than ever. Not interested in McHenry County real estate? No problem. The offer is good in all of our communities including The Trails of Dawson Creek, Bailey Estates and the Richmond new homes at The Trails of Pheasant Ridge.
