Info: Kim Boris
Did you know? The first inch of run-off is the most toxic for the environment. Run-off is the rain water that runs off your roof and the pavement, which mixes with pollen, shingle particles, debris, etc. This debris can be potentially harmful when it reaches our creeks and the bay because the water carries sediment and chemicals.
One rain barrel can hold 55 gallons of run-off from your roof.
Attach one or multiple rain barrels to each downspout.
Use rain barrel water to water your lawn and garden as well as indoor plants!
You can even use the water to wash your car!
Rain barrels are $60 per barrel (regularly $80). To order your rain barrels in time for Earth Day (April 22nd), contact Norm MacLeod at
nhmacleod@verizon.net.
Please include your name and how many rain barrels you are ordering. Checks can be made payable to Arlington Echo.
The last day to order will be March 10th. You will be contacted via e-mail when they arrive!
