Rainwater harvesting is always beneficial, whether the water is used for one houseplant or an entire garden. Rain barrels are an excellent way to help the environment in urban areas because they reduce storm water runoff which can carry pollutants and sediment directly to creeks and rivers. There are many ways homeowners can take action to improve their local watershed health.

Thank you for considering purchasing a rain barrel to benefit you and your local watershed.
The DeKalb SWCD hosts a rain barrel sale each spring.
Rain barrels are available in several colors and we also offer a tumbling composter.

Each rain barrel is ~55 gallons and is fully assembled with a screen mesh lid, two overflow spigots and a bottom drain plug.
All rain barrels are recycled food-grade drums once used to carry food products such as olives and pickles.
