Why participate in the GreenSpot Community Backyards rebate program?

Rain barrels help reduce flooding, streambank erosion, and water quality problems in your neighborhood.

You’ll conserve water and save money by using your collected rainwater to water plants, flowers, and trees. 

Compost bins create nutrient rich soil for your plants and garden from your food and yard scraps – for free! You’ll have a smell and bug-free compost bin that will yield rich soil in about 1 year.

Native trees and plants provide beauty, food for pollinators and birds, and the trees can provide shade and/or windblock. This can help keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
