DIY Rain Barrels – Now Available!

KRB Members get purchase priority and 15% off!

Sale Opens in September

Save water at home by installing your own rain collection system! Keep Roswell Beautiful is hosting a DIY Rain Barrel Sale in September. Capture a percentage of your roof runoff and use it to water plants later instead of tapping into your municipal water. Save water, and save money!

The kit includes an unpainted 55-gallon food grade drum, the fittings to attach it to your downspout, and printed instructions with links to how-to videos. The only tools you will need at home are a drill, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a level (personal protective gear is recommended as well). This is a closed system, meaning the top does not come off and helps prevent mosquitoes from moving in.

Sale will be open as long as supplies last.

Purchase a barrel and kit for $65 (option to purchase barrel only for $25). Members get 15% off!

Rain barrels and kits can be picked up for no additional charge at the Roswell Recycling Center, or for an additional (tax deductible!) donation of $100, we will deliver to your home or office (inside Roswell city limits).

Rain Barrel Workshop – September 30, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Presented by the City of Roswell and Keep Roswell Beautiful at Hembree park Recreation Center, Roswell, GA

Save water at home by installing your own rain collection system! You can capture some of your roof runoff and use it to water your plants instead of municipal water. Rain Barrels are beneficial not only for conserving treated, potable water, but also for preventing stormwater runoff. By catching water from your home’s downspout and diverting it into your garden, rain barrels slow rainwater rushing into storm drains, decreasing erosion and pollution in nearby streams.

On September 30th, as part of Stormwater Awareness Week, the City of Roswell and Keep Roswell Beautiful will be hosting a FREE Rain Barrel Workshop at Hembree Park Recreation Center. the Workshop will begin at 10:00 AM and last about an hour. In additional to the workshop there will be water conservation games available for kids! You can enjoy the workshop while your little ones learn about water!

The workshop is free but registration is required. Register here!

Rain barrels and kits will also be available for purchase at the workshop, or pre-purchase yours at link above.
