Rain Barrel Take & Make Workshop (Bristol)

  • Bristol Parks & Recreation 101 Asylum Road Bristol, RI, 02809 United States (map)

Get your rain barrel for a fraction of the retail cost and support ERICD's conservation efforts at the same time!

Take home a ready to install rain barrel which will collect and store stormwater for your garden. You will receive a prepped barrel and installation kit that will connect to your downspout.


Containers generously provided by Coca-Cola. Made possible with support from the River Network.

For conservation and for pollution prevention, installing a rain barrel to collect and store rainwater for use on your lawn and gardens is a simple but powerful way to make a difference for the Aquidneck Island and Narragansett Bay.

Lawn and garden watering typically makes up 40% of total summer household water usage, according to the EPA. Plus, the biggest threat to our waters today is polluted runoff water that runs off our roofs and into our streets and alleys, carrying all the oil, sediment and other contaminants that it picks up along the way into our lakes, rivers and streams.
