Act now to get your rain barrel

Posted Oct. 5, 2012 | Updated Oct. 25, 2012

Ivy rain barrels are easy to assemble and install and are stable when full.

Nov. 2 is the last day to order rain barrels for the Nov. 10 distribution day. The green 50-gallon, recycled plastic Ivy rain barrels made by Rain Water Solutions are just $58.

Order and pay online, then print the receipt and bring it to the pickup site, the Hazel Harvey Peace Center for Neighborhoods, 818 Missouri Ave., 9-11 a.m. Nov. 10. Rain barrels must be picked up at the event. They cannot be delivered to your home.

Rain barrels can help conserve water, decrease stormwater pollution and reduce flooding. At this price, they are a deal you don’t want to miss.
