The Great American Rain Barrel Company began back in the late eighties. Two local school teachers came up with the idea to recycle barrels into a water collection device modeled after those they had seen in English Gardens. At that time George and Suzanne Gebelein owned and a food importing business in Boston, when the two teachers came to the Gebeleins looking for the perfect barrel, they knew they were at the right place. The barrel selected was a large 60 gallon drum that brought olives from Spain. Given the natural synergy with the Gebelein’s import business and the environmental implications, the Great American Rain Barrel Company was formed as a viable option to chipping up the barrels and sending them to a landfill. In recent years, with extreme droughts, severe water restrictions and greater environmental awareness and the support of our customers our rain barrel business has blossomed. |
