Rain barrel and composters provide homeowners methods to care for their lawns and gardens that are cost-effective and and beneficial for the environment.

Rain Barrels collect water that drains through your gutters. Around 40% of total household water used during the summer months is for watering lawns and gardens. Rainwater does not contain chlorine, lime, or calcium which makes it ideal for water your flowers or vegetable gardens, or washing your car. You may notice a decrease in your water bill, too.

Composters make it easy to compost at home. Transform your organic matter such as food scraps and yard waste into rich, beautiful compost for use in your lawn or garden and divert these items from landfills.
