TAKE & MAKE RAIN BARREL PROGRAM- USING A RAIN BARREL IS AN EASY WAY TO PROTECT THE WATERSHED 

Order your barrel online and then pick up your barrel and installation materials in Barrington on Saturday, June 1. Barrels are $55 each and include the unpainted barrel and installation kit for you to take home and convert this container into any ally for a cleaner Narragansett Bay. 

For Rain Barrel Pick Up:

Where- Between 281 and 283 County Rd, Barrington, RI

When- Saturday, June 1, 2024 between 10:00-11:00 AM

Take home a rain barrel which will collect and store stormwater for your garden. You will receive an unpainted barrel and installation kit that will connect to your downspout. Rain barrel prepping instructions are provided through a video and FAQ available on the Residential Rain Barrels Program Page on our Website. Containers are generously provided by the Rhode Island Brewers Guild.


For conservation and for pollution prevention, installing a rain barrel to collect and store rainwater for use on your lawn and gardens is a simple but powerful way to make a difference for the Aquidneck Island and Narragansett Bay.

Lawn and garden watering typically makes up 40% of total summer household water usage, according to the EPA. Plus, the biggest threat to our waters today is polluted runoff water that runs off our roofs and into our streets and alleys, carrying all the oil, sediment and other contaminants that it picks up along the way into our lakes, rivers and streams.

*Rain barrels MUST be picked up in person on June 1 between 10:00-11:00 AM, there is no delivery or alternative pick up window.
