TOLEDO, Ohio — As lawn mowing season ramps up and as the price of electric lawn mowers continues to come down maybe you’ve considered finally making some earth-friendly changes to how you get the seasonal chore done.
With that in mind you might be interested in the City of Toledo’s Lawn Mower Rebate Program.
The city began the program in 2022 but there is still time to get help making the switch from fossil fuel powered mowers to an electric mower.
You have until August 1 to submit paperwork to receive the rebate, which comes in the form of a gift card.
The rebate is being offered to those who purchase a corded or cordless electric mower and sign a statement that they have scrapped their old gas powered mower.
There are a limited number of rebates available.

Rebates can be mailed or picked up by appointment at Toledo Environmental Services Agency at 348 S. Erie St.
The original deadline to submit paperwork was May 1.
