What is a lawn mower exchange program?
A lawn mower exchange program is designed to remove gasoline-powered mowers from use and replace them with pollution-free electric mowers. According to EPA, the average walk-behind gasoline-powered lawnmower pollutes 11 times as much per hour as a car or truck.
When does the exchange occur?
The program is open to residents of Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, or Preble counties. A limited number of $150 coupons toward the purchase of a Neuton CE5.2 Cordless Electric Lawn Mower will be made available on Saturday April 12 from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
Where does the money come from?
The money for the rebates comes from a supplemental environmental project from a local company. No tax dollars are used to pay for the rebates.
How much does the Neuton cordless mower cost?
Neuton mowers retail for $389, but the company is offering a discounted sale price of $289 to anyone who lives in Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, or Preble counties.
If you receive one of the remaining 150 coupons when you turn in a working gasoline-powered mower on April 12th, the final mower price will be $139, including shipping. All $150 coupons need to be redeemed by April 30th, 2008.
The $289 discounted sale price will be available through August 31, 2008.
How do I get a $150 coupon?
In order to receive the $150 coupon, you need to arrive before remaining coupons are exhausted and turn in a working gasoline-powered mower at the Montgomery County South Transfer Station on April 12th.
Where do I take my mower?
On April 12th, between 8am and 12pm, you can drop off your mower at the Montgomery County South Transfer Station. If you arrive before the remaining supply is exhausted, you will receive your coupon after you drop off your mower. All fluids need to be drained.
