Rain Barrel Pick-Up Event | Shaker 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 event is a rain barrel system pick-up only!

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 May 7!

• A detailed registration confirmation along with rain barrel assembly instructional video will be sent to you a few days before the event.  
• Barrel dimensions are 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall.
• To assemble your system(s) at home you will need a drill and a screwdriver.
• You will need to elevate the barrel (concrete blocks work well) when you set it up and attach it to your downspout, but these materials are not included in the price and will not be provided during the workshop.
