In addition to the info here, I believe that you can go straight to Urban Farmer in Richmond, which is partnering with the City of Oakland to distribute the tanks. You have to show a license with your Oakland address. At least that's how I got mine.

While you may not be thinking of rain now, it's better to get set up before it starts raining.  

Please pass this info around to friends, neighbors and local businesses and schools.  It's a great program and we need to start managing water locally, reducing potable water use in landscaping, reducing stormwater by capturing and using rainwater, ands making sure our community and school gardens are using sustainable water management strategies.

GO GET YOUR FREE TANKS, UP TO 620 gallons!

FREE RAINWATER TANKS AVAILABLE FOR OAKLAND RESIDENTS!!

You can play a key role in preventing creek erosion and flooding while conserving water & harvesting rain for landscape irrigation.  

Rain barrels can reduce erosion by temporarily detaining rainwater and releasing it slowly over time to minimize the erosive effects of concentrated stormwater flows on hillsides. With funding from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, the Oakland Rain Barrel Program gives Oakland residents a simple way to make a positive impact on the local watershed by installing a rain barrel at home.  Take advantage of this exclusive offer while supplies last!   

• Oakland residents can get a rain barrel or cistern FREE of charge, paying only for the cost of tax and delivery (if requested). 
• The subsidized rain barrels will only last for a limited time (through December 2012). 
• To register for the program and purchase a rain barrel visit http://www.oaklandpw.com/rainbarrel
• Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/OakRainBarrels 

Join your neighbors! Play an active role in preserving your watershed by installing a rain barrel at your home today!

Hope is not like a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch... Hope is an ax you break down doors with in an emergency... Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the Earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal.  Hope just means another world might be possible, not promised... Hope calls for action; action is impossible without hope."  --Rebecca Solnit
