Using rain barrels to recycle your roof’s rain water offers many benefits:
- Recycling rain water helps conserve a vital resource.
- Rain barrels also help the environment by reducing erosion caused from fast moving water exiting downspouts. Erosion washes away top soil and carries pollutants from our streets into storm drains that end up in our water ways.
- Plants grow great with recycled rain water because it doesn’t contain chemicals such as chlorine like city water does.
- Rain barrels can help some poor drainage areas.
- They reduce your water bill. - In some places like Atlanta where outdoor water restrictions are common, rain barrels may be the only way to water your plants duriing droughts.
- They help to demonstrate the importance of conservation.- You get an additional faucet in an area that you may not have had before.
- They're fun to use! If you like to grow nice great plants, flowers or home grown tomatoes, then you’re going to love using a rain barrel. If you like to recycle, then you are going to love using rain barrels.

The Brookhaven Rain Barrel company has been a pioneer in rain barrel innovation for the last several years. We were one of the first services to offer rain barrels in the Atlanta area. Our first rain barrels were utilitarian and functional. Today, we combine form and function, rain barrels that work well and look great. Brookhaven Rain Barrels are made to look like old pottery, decorative urns and beautiful planters. They’re strong, durable and yet maneuverable.
