Upcoming Events
Council Member Abbie Kamin is proud to bring back our annual Rain Barrel Sale, which will once again provide up to 150 District C residents an opportunity to purchase a rainwater harvesting barrel at a subsidized cost of $10. We’re also teaming up with Trees for Houston again to provide attendees an opportunity to pick-up a free tree with their barrel!
REGISTRATION IS LIVE NOW
Visit bit.ly/DistCRainBarrel2025 to sign up to purchase a barrel!
You must be a District C resident to register. If you purchase a rain barrel, you MUST be available to pick it up between 9AM and 12PM on Saturday, April 19th.
Why purchase a rain barrel?
When it comes to water conservation and flood mitigation, we all have a part to play. Harvesting rainwater will not only help our environment, but can save dollars on your water bill by using the collected rainwater for your lawn and garden.
Each rain barrel holds up to 50 gallons of rainwater and is perfect for a single-family home. Made from recycled material, they come with instructions for easy set-up and use.
Next Steps
Once you sign up to purchase a rain barrel, we will verify your address and check the stock of rain barrels. If selected to purchase, you will receive an email from our team with the link to purchase - you must purchase your rain barrel within 5 business days of receiving the link, or your spot will be forfeited to a resident on the waitlist.
Rain barrel pick-up will be held on Saturday, April 19th from 9AM to 12PM at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (1475 North Loop W). Pick-up instructions will be sent after purchase is complete.
For any questions, please email Anna.Smith@houstontx.gov.

These meetings, held throughout the district, highlighted how to safely maintain and care for our trees, which trees are best to plant for those who've lost them in the storm, and get some unique tips on vegetation in our specific areas.
