Swap Your Gas Lawn Mower to Reduce Air Pollution

Registration begins May 2 at 8 a.m. Exchange your gas lawn mower for an electric one with the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

You've heard of student exchange programs, but have you ever considered a lawn mower exchange program

The program, run by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, is open to Altadena residents and would allow a switch from gas mowers to a low-pollution electric motor.

The district is hosting a Go Green! Lawn and Garden Expo in conjunction with the Lawnmower Exchange events. These Expos will showcase eco-friendly lawn-care equipment and related green products and services that save energy, conserve water and allow you to maintain the garden you desire.
