Why Get a Rain Barrel?

Sustainable: Utilize a repurposed container, reducing waste.
Water Conservation: Collect nutrient-rich water for watering plants, reducing municipal water usage and costs. Utilizing the rain barrel once a week, for 12 weeks during the summer, can provide up to 2,508 liters (662 gallons) of water annually!

Support a Cause: Proceeds from the sale will support the EPBRPC Nature Navigator Van fundraising campaign, contributing $1,200 towards our $90,000 goal.
