Rain barrels available to purchase for Tukwila Residents
Rain barrels fit with all the other techniques of natural yard care. Building healthy
soil, planting right for your site, practicing smart watering (making every drop count),
thinking twice before using pesticides, and practicing natural lawn care are all part
of gardening the healthy, natural way.
Rain barrels are available for City of Tukwila residents to purchase at a subsidized
rate. The rain barrels hold 50 gallons of water and are re -purposed food -grade
barrels. They can be purchased for $45 at the front counter in City Hall at 6200
Southcenter Blvd. Once payment is received, a rain barrel with diverter/connection
valve will be delivered to your address by one of the City's Stormwater Inspectors.
Availability of these rain barrels is limited and is for Tukwila residents only. Please
email EnvironmentalCompliance@TukwilaWA.gov with any questions.
The project is made possible through grants from the Washington State Department
of Ecology and King County Solid Waste.
