Help clean the air and get a rebate of up to $250

Published on October 02, 2024

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) now offers a year-round rebate program for local residents who scrap their old gas-powered lawn equipment and purchase new electric models. 

Each electric lawn and garden equipment purchased must be cordless and include a battery and charger.

View the Lawn & Garden Equipment Rebate flyer(PDF, 1MB) for details. 

Six easy steps to receive your rebate

1. Purchase your new, cordless electric lawn equipment (mower, chainsaw, leaf blower or hand-held trimmer), either in-store or online.
2. Begin the online application, uploading your purchase receipt. 
3. Select a certified scrapper from the SCAQMD list and print your Dismantler Verification form.
4. Take your old working gas-powered lawn and garden equipment to the scrapping location. They will sign and return the verification form to you.
5. Scan and upload the signed certification form to your online application.
6. Electronically sign and submit your final application online. 

How much is the rebate?

Rebate amounts are based on the purchase price of the new electric lawn equipment, not including taxes and delivery, and range from $150 to $250.

The rebate cannot be greater than the purchase price, not including taxes and delivery.

You can receive up to a maximum of 3 rebates for the lifetime of the program.

The rebate program is first-come, first-served and rebates will continue until all program funds are exhausted.
