GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The city of Green Bay is holding its 2024 rain barrel program right now.
Residents can sign up for a chance to win a free rain barrel; which holds 50 gallons of rainwater.
“What we’re encouraging people to do is manage their stormwater on their property; by collecting that rainwater that falls from the roof of your home or garage, you can reuse that water in your yard,” said Melissa Schmitz, City of Green Bay resiliency coordinator. “That means there’s less water that runs off of our driveways and sidewalks that can pick up pollutants along the way and end up in the nearest waterway.”
Registration is open through April 17.
The program is for Green Bay residents only.
Those who received a rain barrel in previous years are not eligible. This is the third year of the program.
