We're at it again!

DoE has partnered with the City of Mount Rainier, the Mount Rainier Green Team and Rain Water Solutions to offer another opportunity to purchase rain barrels at a discounted rate! County residents can apply for a Rain Check Rebate, making the barrel virtually free!

Discounted rate is available until September 10th, and can be picked up at the September 15th, Mount Rainier workshop. 

Don't forget to bring your e-waste and #6 foam items (packing peanuts, food containers, block packaging, coolers, etc.), which can also be dropped off when you pick up your rain barrel!
