The City of Aurora, The Conservation Foundation, and Upcycle Products are collaborating again this year to provide discounted rain barrels to Aurora residents. An effective way to conserve water during the summer and fall months, rain barrels collect fresh water from rooftop gutter systems for use on lawns and gardens. In addition, rain barrels help to reduce runoff pollutants, improve hydration to plants with natural water and could help to lower water bills with consistent usage.
55-gallon rain barrels are available in four colors – black, blue, gray, and terra cotta – and can be picked at 2185 Liberty Street on Thursday, May 1 between 8 A.M. and 4 P.M. Pre-orders are now available and being accepted through April 28. Order your barrel now! Rain barrel accessories, composters and plant hangers are also available for discounted prices. A portion of all sales will be donated to the Conservation Foundation.
Stop by the Stover Visitors Center at Phillips Park, 1000 Ray Moses Drive, to see the working rain barrel display and get more information. For more information, email Cassandra Armin or call 630-256-3200.
