Recycling and Conservation: What's New

Rain barrels

The Peoria County Soil & Water Conservation District still has some rain barrels available. Each recycled 55-gallon barrel is $75 and includes a spigot, overflow fitting and screen enclosure on top. They are terra cotta in color. For more information, call Amy Peck at 671-7040, ext. 3. (Posted on Peoria Journal Star 12/12/09)
