santa  fe  rain  barrels

The rain barrel season is off to a good start and should continue on the road to more sustainable living and renewable water in our community.  Vegetable gardens are being planted, and water from the roofs of many of our homes is being put to good use.  The rain barrel business is selling wholesale rain barrels to various nurseries and outdoor businesses in the area, as well as retail to those that contact us.  We have been out with a trailer full of barrels near the entrance of Eldorado just outside of Santa Fe a number of times already this year, and plan on returning regularly.  Selling barrels on the side of the road like this facilitates clients picking up barrels, whether or not they are planning on it.  This generally takes place on Saturdays, and deliveries are available for those that are not able to come by.  Also, a projected fundraiser at Santa Fe's Oshara Village Flea Market is scheduled to take place on the 30th of May, with other possible Sundays selling there as well.

Most of the information regarding our rain barrels has remained the same, with a few changes.  The regular price for our 50 gallon rain barrels is $60, and that for our 60 gallon rain barrels is $65.  They come in gray, terra cotta, and brown colors, with some other rare variations.  Our brown colored barrels, generally preferred over the others, are $5 more.  Of course we still have a large stock of discount water tanks and cisterns, as well as 275 gallon totes.  Our services are offered to anyone needing them in Santa Fe and areas nearby.  Look for us by the entrance of Eldorado if you are interested! 

For those of you trying to conserve cash, we have a number of $45 "dirty" barrels. These barrels have nothing wrong with them, they're just not as clean. If you don't care about the appearance, it's a good way to save a few bucks on your water catchment system. They can also be cleaned up if you have a good arm and some degrease soap and a scrubber.

We also recently got a shipment of 50 gallon Terra Cotta barrels, which we were low on previously. They are selling for $55 a piece, with the brown colored ones for $60. The 60 gallon brown barrels are $65 dollars, and all other 60 gallon barrels are $60. For a limited time we are also selling 55 gallon "wide mouth" barrels, which tend to be cleaner and nicer in appearance than the other barrels. They are 65 dollars.

If you are not already aware of this, we deliver any number of barrels for a cost of $15 dollars per delivery. Of course that depends on where you live. Santa Fe and Eldorado tend to be ok. Call first in order to set a time to meet. During the course of the summer we have also been selling on the side of highway 285 near the first entrance to Eldorado. We have been there on Saturdays, but might not be there again until next summer, depending on how busy it looks.

Take advantage of all the recent rain, and fill up one of our Santa Fe rain barrels! It's a good chance to conserve water and save some money on your water bill.
