Rain Barrel Sale

Now through June 5.

The Village of Downers Grove and The Conservation Foundation are teaming up to offer rain barrels for sale. Mail-in orders will be accepted through May 31, 2017; online orders through June 5.

Rain barrels are large containers that capture rainwater at the end of a downspout and store the water for later use, for example in watering plants or washing cars. Using water from rain barrels lowers water bills, helps reduce flooding, and can have a dramatic impact on water quality in our rivers and streams.
The 55-gallon barrels are made from reused plastic and come equipped with a spigot, a screw off lid, a garden hose threaded overflow, and screen in the top to help keep out bugs and debris.

  • The cost per barrel is $60.00, plus sales tax. All orders will be handled by third party vendor, Upcycle Products.
  • Place your order ONLINE and pay via credit card.
