Mower Exchange
To promote the reduction of emissions from gas-powered lawn equipment, the District offers a rechargeable electric mower at a reduced price when a gas-powered mower is turned in. The gas mower will be destroyed and the metal will be recycled.

This program is scheduled for the spring of each year and quantities are limited. Check the website in February for specific details of the mower exchange program or contact the district at (530) 757-3657.
