The goal is to help more Valley residents make the change to electric equipment to reduce air pollution around Central California.
Air officials say gas-powered yard equipment makes up a large amount of the pollution around the Valley and can even emit more emissions than newer cars.
You could receive up to $250 if you trade in your gas-powered mowers in exchange for an electric mower.
