The Many Uses for Rainwater

We’re compiling a list of things you can use your collected water for and some stories to go with them.

November 19 is World Toilet Day and yes, you can use rainwater to flush your toilet! Matt Damon reminds us that the toilet is the greatest invention that has saved more lives than any other in the history of humankind. Rain barrels are part of the solution toward clean water in our world and better sanitation for all.

We Know You Winterized Your Barrel; Or Was It Even Installed in the First Place? VIDEOS

There are a number of Craigslist and Kijiji offers for rain barrels never used or taken out of their boxes (BOXES! Yes, some people buy new ones, not knowing they can get recycled barrels through our non-profit partners)

Don’t be afraid to make it happen or ask one of our partners for help.  Some even offer installation as part of their fundraising campaign.

Get your hands a little dirty and hook up that barrel even in the fall if winter doesn’t hit your area too hard.  See our VIDEOS for details.
