Rain Barrel Pick-Up Event | Shaker Heights
Event Location:
Shaker Heights Service Yard
Collect rainwater for outdoor use and help stop stormwater pollution in your community by making a rain barrel!
A rain barrel is a container that collects and stores rainwater that would normally flow into a storm drain untreated. You can then use the collected water to water your lawn and garden.
This workshop is a rain barrel pickup. You will receive a barrel and a kit that has everything you need to make your barrel at home with a drill and a screwdriver. If you do not have these tools, please contact the organizer.
The $60 fee covers all materials, including a 60-gallon barrel, drill bits, and a downspout diverter. If you want to create a two-barrel system, you can get a second barrel and linking kit for $40. You must pre-pay below and register for the workshop. Barrel dimensions are 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall.
Registration is now closed!
Be sure to bring a vehicle that can accommodate your barrel(s)!
The Shaker Heights Service Yard is an open parking lot and accessible. If you have any questions, please contact Amy at [email protected] or 216/503-1317.
There is ample parking in the service yard. You will be picking up your barrel(s) and there is plenty of space to pull in, load your barrel(s), and turn around.
There are several bus stops that are a short walk to the event site. Keep in mind, you will be taking a rain barrel away from the event so we don't believe that can be taken on a bus.
