Residential Mow Down Pollution Program

 

 Program Status                    2024 Update Below

STATE DISCOUNT

  • All electric mowers at participating retailers are discounted 30% at the point of sale. No vouchers, no trade-ins, no sign-ups needed. This is not a RAQC program but we are excited to promote it. Please note not all retailers in the state are included, though many are. The Colorado Public Interest Research Group is tracking participating retailers until the state releases a full list. You can see COPIRG’s list here.

  • The RAQC will not have a large trade-in voucher program as we’ve had in past years due to a lack of funding. If a new revenue source becomes available, we will reopen the program. We are glad to support the new state discount instead.

 

This project was undertaken in connection with the settlement of an enforcement action taken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for alleged violations of federal laws.

Special Offer – Adams and Denver County Residents:

Using dedicated funding, the RAQC has a special offer for residents of the following zip codes: 80022, 80024, 80221, 80640, 80229, 80260, 80216, 80205, 80211, 80207, 80238, 80239, 80249. The RAQC is executing a federal Supplemental Environmental Project utilizing funds from industrial fines, coordinated by the EPA. Residents of the above zip codes are invited to special trade-in events and are eligible for a $300 voucher to trade-in your gas-powered mower and purchase a new electric mower through our partners at Ace Hardware.

 

Residents of the specified zip codes can attend any of the following events. Please bring an ID or other proof of residency. Please also note you do need to bring a gas-powered mower for us to recycle to participate. Drain your mower of all fluids before bringing your mower for recycle.
