Rebates Up to $150

Rebates available for electric lawn and garden equipment

Mar 28, 2024 | 4:00 PM

People looking to upgrade their lawnmowers, leaf blowers, trimmers or chainsaws may be eligible for some rebates.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan is running a program for residents exchanging old gas-powered lawn and garden care equipment for electric models.

Through the RDCO’s Law Swap Go Electirc program, rebates of up to $150, or 50 per cent of the cost of the new items, will be provided to residents making the switch.

“This program is win-win opportunity as it helps residents replace their existing equipment and improves the air quality in our community,” Program Coordinator Nancy Mora Castro said.

To qualify for the rebate, residents must provide a purchase receipt for the new electric equipment, recycle the old gas-fueled lawn or garden equipment and provide a recycling receipt, and complete the Lawn Swap: Go Electric online application form.
