Powering a Greener Irvine: Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Ban Now in Effect
As part of the City's efforts to foster a sustainable, healthy community, a City ordinance has gone into effect that bans the use of gas-powered lawn equipment for residents and businesses. This includes lawn mowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, and trimmers.
To help our community make the transition to electric lawn and garden equipment, up to $250 in rebates is available for eligible equipment. For more information about rebates, how to recycle gas-powered equipment, additional resources, and how to apply, visit cityofirvine.org/lawnequipment .
