Save money and water: Order your rain barrel by April 20

Rain barrel

Rain barrels help conserve water by collecting rainwater from your rooftop and storing it for later use in the garden, saving you money on watering. The rainwater collected is softer than tap water, too, making rain barrels a great way to water delicate plants in your landscape. 

Each year, the Village of Oswego partners with The Conservation Foundation and Upcycle Products, Inc. to make rain barrels available to our residents at discounted rates. A 55-gal. rain barrel costs just $64.50 plus tax -- about half the price you'd pay on Amazon -- and proceeds benefit The Conservation Foundation and their work preserving habitats in Oswego and across the Chicagoland region. 

Order online by April 20, and your rain barrel will be delivered to the Oswego Public Works Facility for pick-up on Friday, April 22 or Saturday, April 23.  You can also order by mail to pay with a check (mail-in orders due April 15). 

Get more details and order through Upcycle Products. [ [link removed] ]
