• Locally sourced and made with repurposed food-grade material, making them more environmentally friendly than store-bought barrels made with virgin plastic
• 55 gallons
• Approximate dimensions: 22.5" wide x 37" tall
• Blue or white and have a tap and an overflow valve to drain excess water
• Closed top with a screen that covers the hole for the downspout

An average roof in Airdrie collects approximately 24,000 litres of rain annually-this could fill a rain barrel 96 times!

Capturing stormwater at home helps reduce water flow back to our rivers, reducing the flow of contaminants and supporting flood mitigation efforts. Using a rain barrel also means less water needs treatment, which reduces the demand for water treatment facilities. In the end, it saves Airdrie residents money.
