2027 Workshop Dates to be Announced 

Free Workshops to Build Your Own Rain Barrel

Keep Omaha Beautiful hosts annual, in-person workshops to help community members learn how to install rain barrels at their place of residence. Workshops include supplies needed and one rain barrel, however, no transportation is provided. Participants will learn about the many benefits of rain barrels, and receive hands-on instruction for installation and maintenance. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Workshop space is limited. Residents can participate on their own or with their household/family. There are up to 40 spots available for each workshop date, and registration will be open until filled. 
   
• One rain barrel will be provided per household. (If you already signed up or received a free barrel from the City of Omaha's rain barrel giveaway, you are not eligible to attend this workshop.)
   
• All parts, installation instructions, and tools needed for the construction of the rain barrel will be provided (at no cost) during the workshop. Participants will need to complete one step at home to install their rain barrel. 
   
• There is no cost to attend a workshop, but registration is required.

Please note: You will need to transport your assembled rain barrel to your own place of residence after the workshop. No assistance will be provided. 

Special thanks to workshop partners: Omaha Stormwater Program, Yates Illuminates, and the Papio-Missouri River NRD (Chalco Hills Recreation Center). Thanks also to American Laboratories, Inc. for donating the barrels.
