Bring in gas mower, get electric one for $100

The South Coast Air Quality Management District will be giving out electric lawn mowers to people who trade in their gas mowers during the Mow Down Air Pollution 2008 Electric Lawn Mower Exchange.

At several locations throughout the Orange County area this spring residents will be able to give up an operable gas mower and $100 in exchange for a new Neuton Electric Mower. Registration for the event, sponsored by the district, begins Tuesday. For more details or to set up an appointment call (888) 425-6247 or go to www.aqmd.gov.
