Rain Barrel Pick-Up Event | Newburgh Heights
Event Location:
Village Hall Community Room, 3801 Harvard Ave, Newburgh Heights, OH, 44105
Event Description
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.
Be sure to bring a vehicle that can accommodate your barrel(s)!
Registration is closed.
Frequently asked questions
Accessibility
Parking and Bus Route
There is ample parking at the site. There is a bus stop at Harvard Ave. & Washington Park Blvd. that is a 2 minute walk to the site. Keep in mind, you will be taking a rain barrel home if you purchased one. They are not heavy, but awkward to carry.
Can I bring children to this event?
Yes. This is a pick-up event for rain barrels so there isn't a formal program. Children are welcome for the pick-up event.
