YOU Have the Power to Help Clean Up the Air!

Sustainable Wheat Ridge has partnered with the Regional Air Quality Council and Home Depot to begin the Mow Down Pollution program in Wheat Ridge! This program provides $150 vouchers for Wheat Ridge residents who turn in a gas powered mower in order to purchase a new electric mower.

Here’s how it works: First, apply for a voucher at www.mowdownpollution.org/residential. Next, recycle your gas mower at an approved metal recycler. Then, receive your $150 voucher to use in-person at a participating Home Depot to purchase an electric mower.

Gas-powered lawn mowers emit greenhouse gases and contribute to ground-level ozone pollution. Electric mowers are quieter, start instantly, and don’t require gas, engine oil, fuel filters and other related maintenance. And, there are no fumes to breathe as you are mowing your lawn! Stay tuned to this page to be the first to know when the vouchers are available and to take advantage of this great offer!
