Using an electric mower will help the air, your health and your wallet. Many county residents have already traded their old dirty, hard-to-start gas mowers for new clean (and quiet) mowers. Working with Lowe’s in Simi Valley and Ventura, and Neuton, Ventura County APCD is providing vouchers worth $200 off the price of a cordless electric mowers when you recycle your old gas mower.

With the budget crunch this year, vouchers are limited to the first 310 residents who make a reservation for either event. Bring your old mower to the event site on April 17th or April 24th , and get a $200 voucher from APCD staff who will be manning each event.
