Annual Rain Barrel Sale

Every spring, the Central Oklahoma Storm Water Alliance (COSWA) and member cities of Midwest City, Edmond, Yukon, Norman, and Oklahoma City partner with Upcycle Products Inc. in a regional effort to encourage Oklahoma residents through the use of rain barrels and compost bins to:

conserve water
reduce water pollution
improve air quality
divert waste from landfills

Rain barrels are a simple, efficient, and low-cost method that reduce the amount of stormwater runoff leaving your property by collecting the water that drains from your home’s gutter system.

The stored water can be used to

water your lawn and gardens
wash your car
even the dog

Using a rain barrel during the summer months may help reduce your utility bill by using less city water.

Small-scale composting diverts food scraps and yard waste, which compose 20-30 % of what we throw away, from landfills. The finished compost can then be applied to your lawn and gardens as a non-chemical fertilizer and will improve the soil’s structure and water retention, and grow healthier, more disease-resistant plants.

An additional benefit is that organics recycled in a backyard compost bin have a lower impact on our environment than they would if the materials were dumped in a landfill. The methane produced by organic material breaking down in a landfill is a contributor to global climate change. The partnership allows Upcycle Products to offer discounted rain barrels at $69.50 and composters at $84.50 or $179.50.
