If you are ready to replace your older, noisy, gas-powered landscape equipment with electric models, you can still take advantage of the voucher offered by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD).
Ventura County residents, commercial landscaping businesses, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, public schools, and school districts are eligible to apply for a voucher toward new electric lawn and garden equipment in exchange for surrendering their old, gas-powered models. Funding is limited, and vouchers are being awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, but vouchers are still available!
Maximum voucher amounts are included in the table below.
Equipment Type | Residential Amount | Commercial Amount |
Handheld Equipment | $300 | $700 |
Leaf blowers/Vacuums | $200 | $1,400 |
Walk Behind Lawn Mowers | $330 | $1,500 |
Stand/Sit Mowers | $2,000 | $15,000 |
Participants in the Lawn and Garden Equipment Exchange (L&GE) program must use the new electric equipment for a minimum of 36 months and currently own and operate gasoline or diesel landscaping equipment. In addition, the equipment traded in must serve the same function. For example, a gasoline-powered blower needs to be replaced with a zero-emission blower. Up to two batteries and a charging device can also be funded as part of the L&GE purchase in addition to taxes and fees.
A few key things to remember:
- Equipment surrendered must be in working condition.
- Equipment purchased before the voucher issuance is not eligible for reimbursement.
- Equipment must be purchased through a participating retailer.
