Ogden, UTAH – According to the state officials, lawn care businesses in Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah, and Weber counties can receive a discount up to $3,000 to upgrade their gas-powered leaf blowers and string trimmers to battery-powered electric equipment.
Battery-powered lawn equipment is quiet, cordless, lighter and easier to move around, and lower maintenance than their gas-powered counterparts.
State officials also said that going electric also means you don’t have to worry about using oil and gas—easier for you and better for Utah’s air quality!
A minimum of 375 businesses were selected to participate and will receive an email invitation and instructions.
Businesses must recycle gas-powered leaf blowers and string trimmers to participate.
