Pasadena residents can still 
register to get up to 75 percent 
in savings on a new electric 
lawn mower with the South 
Coast AQMD’s popular Lawn 
Mower Exchange Program. 
The lawnmower exchange 
event in Pasadena is scheduled 
from 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday, 
May 17, near the Rose Bowl 
Stadium. Registration spots 
are still open for the Pasadena 
event. 
To take advantage of this 
great offer, residents must preregister 
at www.aqmd.gov, 
or calling 1-888-425-6247. 
Registration is on a first-come, 
first-served basis. 
“By participating in the Lawn 
Mower Exchange Program, 
residents will get a brand new 
mower that is easier to operate 
and quieter than a gas model 
for just a fraction of the retail 
price,” said William A. Burke, 
Ed.D., SCAQMD’s Governing 
Board Chairman. “In addition 
to taking advantage of this 
great offer, residents will also 
help better their community 
by eliminating air pollution 
from old gas mowers.” 
In fact, an older gas-powered 
lawn mower can spew more 
pollution into the air in a 
single year than a car driven 
more than 22,000 miles. 
Residents must be at least 
18 years old to participate in 
the program. Gas-powered 
mowers must be in working 
order and only one mower per 
household can be exchanged. 
Cash, check or major credit 
cards are accepted for 
payment. 
Residents have the 
opportunity to register and 
choose from one of five Black 
& Decker and Greenstation 
battery electric models ranging 
from $100 to $250.
