Last Chance to Order Up to Two Rain Barrels at 44% Off!

We ordered an extra pallet to help as many residents as possible in San Mateo County get a rain barrel this year or add to their existing setup to increase their rainwater collection capacity ahead of El Niño and our usual rainy season!

These high-quality rain barrels are $85 each (pre-tax), 44% off the retail price, and are made in the USA from 100% recycled BPA-free plastic.

This is your final call to claim one or two of the remaining rain barrels for pickup at our last event of the year in Half Moon Bay on October 24. Bonus: The local rebate program can make your purchase low- or no-cost after installation!
• $50 countywide rebate per barrel (up to two barrels)
• An additional $50 if your water provider is one of 10 participating agencies
That’s $50 or $100 back for one barrel and $100 or $150 back for two barrels!

Want to learn more about rain barrels? Check out these resources and videos for tips on installation and maintenance!

We’ve already sold more than half of this final pallet, so we recommend placing your order as soon as possible to participate in this year’s sale.

Rain Barrel Program Details The 2026 San Mateo Countywide Half-Price Rain Barrel Sale is hosted by the City of San Mateo for pick-up on October 17 and hosted by the City of Half Moon Bay for pick-up on October 24.

Looks like rain, Pacifica!

I had no idea my pet’s business was such big news! But when it rains, pet waste bacteria can get into our waters. Picking up after your pet—even in your own yard—makes you and Fido Coastside Water Heroes!

Did you know that pet waste left on sidewalks, streets, yards and other open areas can make its way into storm drains leading into local creeks and the ocean, harming the water quality and habitat? Please remember to carry disposable bags every time you walk your pet and dispose of pet waste in a garbage can.

Through this program, San Mateo County residents and businesses can purchase up to two high-quality 50-gallon rain barrels for just $85 each (pre-tax)—a significant discount from the barrel's usual $152 cost (44% below market price). Orders must be picked up at the event location selected during purchase.

Plus, after installation, eligible participants can receive $50 through the countywide rebate (for up to two barrels) and an additional $50 if their water provider is one of 10 participating agencies. That’s $50 or $100 back for one barrel and $100 or $150 back for two barrels through the local rebate program, which can make the purchase low- or no-cost!

Sale deadlines:
• October 4 at 11pm for the City of San Mateo event on October 17 (9am - 12pm)
• October 11 at 11pm for the City of Half Moon Bay event on October 24 (9am - 12pm)
Sales can close sooner if barrels sell out.
This is a great opportunity for our community to save money, conserve water, and reduce stormwater pollution. We’d greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word through your channels, and you’re welcome to share the toolkit with any relevant community partners you feel would help promote either or both events.

Special thanks to this year’s event partners: the City of San Mateo and the City of Half Moon Bay.
