Anxiously awaiting your rain barrel? Rain barrel workshops and distribution events are finally here! Find them at our new rain barrel page, http://arlingtonenvironment.org/barrel.php! 
A rain barrel is placed under the downspout to collect water from the roof. The rain barrels hold approximately 50 gallons. They are 23 inches wide and range from 41.25 inches to 43.75 inches tall. Rainwater collection can help you save water for use in your yard, eliminate potential flooding in your basement, and reduce stormwater management costs. Water running off your roof during a rainstorm can be a problem or a resource put to good use! Already have your barrel? Look here for helpful hints on what to do when you get your rain barrel home! Installation Instructions (PDF) There are two ways to acquire your rain barrel. Attend a build your own rain barrel workshop or purchase a pre-made barrel. Registration is required and will close at least one week prior to event date. If registering through PayPal please make sure your account's e-mail address is current. If paying by check make sure to include an e-mail address. We must be able to contact you! Please note registration will close at least one week prior to event date. Refunds and Cancellations. Refunds will not be issued for cancelled registrations or no shows. If you are unable to make the workshop or distribution for which you are registered, please notify us at rainbarrel@fairfaxcounty.gov or 703-324-1428 immediately. We will do our best to reschedule you for a subsequent program. Only one opportunity to reschedule will be given. Additional Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshops will be held in 2010. Register for a Build Your Own Rain Barrel workshop. At this workshop you will learn how to build, install and maintain a rain barrel, and take one home! Additional Pre-Made Barrel Workshops will be held in 2010. Register for a Pre-Made Barrel if you would rather leave the dirty work to us. You must show up at the date and time you register for to pick up your rain barrel.
