Rain Barrel Workshop | Independence
Event Location:
Independence Civic Center
Learn how to 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.
At this event, you’ll learn how to put together and set up your rain barrel.
The $60 fee covers the cost of the workshop and 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.
Registration is now closed. Be sure to bring a vehicle that can accommodate your barrel(s)!
