The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District has completed another successful mower exchange, taking more than a hundred high-emission gas lawn mowers out of the community and spreading the use of no-emission electric mowers.
The program, however, simply wouldn’t work without the incredible help of our local recycling facilities. Davis Waste Removal and the Yolo County Central Landfill took in the old gas mowers free of charge and converted them to scrap. This in-kind service to the community deserves commendation as it provides a vital function while minimizing the cost to consumers and the public.
In participating in the mower exchange, our recycling partners helped clean up our air. On behalf of the Yolo-Solano AQMD, I thank them.
