2025 Rain Barrel Rebate Program
Starting April 1, 2025, Calgarians can receive a $50 rebate on up to two rain barrels through a partnership between the City of Calgary and Green Calgary.
This initiative aims to help make rain barrels more affordable for residents looking to conserve their outdoor water use throughout the spring and summer. Calgarians who purchase rain barrels from Green Calgary or a local vendor in Calgary can submit an application form along with original receipts to receive a $50 rebate per barrel. Eligible purchases must be made after March 31, 2025. The program is able to provide rebates for a maximum of 3,000 rain barrels.
Where to Get a Rain Barrel
Green Calgary rain barrels are available for pre-order beginning April 1st, and after the rebate, cost $75 + GST. They can also be purchased in-person at Green Calgary’s Annual Rain Barrel sales between 9am and 1pm at the following locations:
April 19 – IKEA - 8000 11 St SE
May 3 – Dalhousie Co-op - 5505 Shaganappi Tr NW

Why Use a Rain Barrel?
Outdoor water use increases significantly in the summer, placing additional demand on the City's water supply. Capturing and using rainwater helps reduce water consumption, lowers your household water bills, keeps yards and gardens healthy, minimizes soil erosion, and prevents pollutants from washing into waterways.
Join thousands of Calgarians already using rain barrels to conserve water and support a greener city.
