EL CENTRO — The Imperial County Air Pollution Control District announced registration has begun for the annual LEEP event. Imperial Valley residents (participants must provide proof of residency) are eligible to participate in cleaning up air while saving money and upgrading their equipment. The goal of the program is to improve air quality by exchanging older, polluting gasoline-powered residential lawn and garden equipment for new zero emission, battery-powered electric residential grade equipment for operation within the Imperial County. One equivalent operable gasoline-powered piece of lawn and garden equipment must be exchanged and scrapped to qualify for incentive funding toward battery-powered electric replacement equipment.
“In the past six years, the ICAPCD has successfully reduced over 234 pounds of hydrocarbons and over 1,724 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition to taking advantage of this amazing offer, Valley residents will also benefit their community by eradicating the air pollution that old gas mowers produce,” said Air Pollution Control Officer, Matt Dessert.
Residents can register and choose from one of the following EGO products:
• 56V 21” (LM2101) Push Lawn Mower with Charger and Battery Pack
• 56V 21” (LM2102SP) Self Propelled Lawn Mower with Charger and Battery Pack
• 56V 530 CFM (LB5302) Blower with Charger and Battery Pack
• 56V 24” (HT2411) Hedge Trimmer with Charger and Battery Pack
• 56V 15” (ST1502SA) String Trimmer with Charger and Battery Pack
• 56V 14” (CS1401) Chain Saw with Charger and Battery Pack
To take advantage of this offer, and because of limited quantities, residents must pre-register at https://thegreenstationproducts.com/imperial-county/ or call 1(818) 400-2971 by noon on April 29. Registration is on a first-come, first serve basis.
The exchange event will take place April 25-29, at SA Recycling Center located at 460 E. Holton Rd. in El Centro from 7 a.m. to 4 a.m.
This year’s program is in cooperation with Greenstation LLC and SA Recycling Center.
