Registration – Rain Barrel Workshop – CPL Eastman Campus
$0.00
Location: Cleveland Public Library | Eastman Campus – 11602 Lorain Avenue Cleveland, OH 44111
Description:
Learn how to collect rainwater for outdoor use and help stop stormwater pollution in your community by making a rain barrel!
Cuyahoga SWCD will present a rain barrel workshop and pick-up event hosted by the Cleveland Public Library at the Eastman Campus on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 from 11:00a-12:00p.
At this event, you’ll learn how to put together and set up your rain barrel. If you prefer, you can pick up your rain barrel and build it at home using an online video.
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 connector kit for an extra $40.
Registration is required by April 25th. Be sure to bring a vehicle that can accommodate your barrel(s)!
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.
