The Highland Heights Community Center is an ADA accessible facility.
Rain Barrel Workshop | Highland Heights

Collect rainwater for outdoor use and help reduce stormwater pollution in your community by building your own rain barrel.
A rain barrel captures and stores rainwater that would otherwise flow untreated into storm drains. You can use this collected water to nourish your lawn and garden, conserving resources and supporting a healthier environment.
This workshop includes a rain barrel system pickup along with a brief presentation and demonstration at the beginning.
You’ll receive a barrel and a complete kit with all the parts needed to assemble your system at home using just a drill and a screwdriver.
The $60 fee covers all materials, including a 60‑gallon barrel, drill bits, and a downspout diverter. If you’d like to create a two‑barrel setup, an additional barrel and linking kit are available for $40.
Pre‑payment and workshop registration are required.
Please register by June 1!
- A detailed registration confirmation will be sent to you as the workshop date approaches.
- Barrel dimensions are 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall.
- This system must be installed on a downspout. You will also need a way to elevate the barrel (concrete blocks work well), but these materials are not included in the price and will not be provided during the workshop
