The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District’s Lawn and Garden Program provides eligible residential and commercial applicants with monetary vouchers to reduce the cost of replacing existing gas- or diesel-powered lawn and garden equipment with battery-operated zero-emission lawn and garden equipment. No retroactive purchases are allowed.
Voucher Process:
Step 1: Complete and submit an application form linked below.
Step 2: Receive vouchers for the equipment you would like to replace.
Step 3: To redeem your vouchers, bring your existing equipment to the participating merchant of your choice so they can verify it is operational.
Step 4: After redeeming your vouchers, order or purchase your new equipment from the participating merchant of your choice.
Step 5: Before receiving your new equipment, surrender your existing equipment to the participating merchant of your choice to be scrapped. Some merchants may request for the applicant to deliver the equipment themselves to a salvage yard and bring back the receipt.
