WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) – The City of Wichita’s air quality program will offer $50 rebates for residents who purchase new non-combustion lawn equipment and recycle their old combustion equipment.
“The City of Wichita’s air quality program encourages Wichita area residents to reduce harmful lawn-related emissions by using cleaner electric, battery-operated, and self-propelled lawn equipment,” says Wichita’s Public Works and Utilities website.
Their website features a list of eligible lawn items:
- New equipment, not used or refurbished
- Corded electric, battery-powered, or self-propelled (self-propelled applies to mowers only)
- Lawn care equipment including mowers, edgers, string trimmers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers; other landscaping/garden equipment does not qualify for rebate.
They also list several terms for the rebate including a limit of two items per household, the need to show proof of purchase and that the rebate will not exceed the purchase price of the item.
