Discount program allows residents to exchange their gas-powered lawn mowers for electric, cordless ones.

For the sixth consecutive year, the South Coast Air Quality Management District is offering residents the opportunity to cut down on pollution while they cut their grass.
The annual “Mow Down Air Pollution” program allows residents the chance to trade in their gasoline-powered lawn mower for a new cordless electric mower for $100.

“It’s a way for consumers to help fight the war on smog,” spokesman Sam Atwood said. “It reduces upwards of 20 tons of smog-forming pollutants each year.”
The push toward improving Burbank’s air took on an added urgency in January after a report showed Burbank’s air quality is one of the worst in Southern California.
The study found that high levels of toxicity in Burbank from diesel engines, most likely from trucks rumbling through Burbank on the Golden State (5) Freeway are the culprit, but pollution from Bob Hope Airport also plays a role, officials said.
The new mowers, provided by Neuton, one of the top sellers of battery-powered mowers in the United States, produces half the noise of a gas mower and can operate for up to one hour on a 12-hour charge. Its power is about equal to a 3.5-horsepower gas mower and has a 14-inch blade width, Atwood said.
The electric mowers, which are usually sold for about $400, are offered to residents for $100 and help reduce volatile organic compounds from being released into the atmosphere. Such compounds are one of the worst pollutants found in Southern California and a toxin that is especially present in the summer, he said.
The discount is paid for by the air quality district’s investment program, where large companies around Southern California are asked to “do something to reduce employee emissions,” Atwood said.
“They are asked to ride-share, scrap vehicles or pay a fee,” he said. “We receive several million dollars a year from companies, including studios around Burbank. We’re reducing emissions for those companies.”
While the program has reduced 116 tons of volatile toxins since the program’s inception six years ago — and been responsible for scrapping nearly 24,000 gasoline mowers — it is difficult to quantify its effect on air quality, Atwood said.
“It’s impossible from year to year to say that one particular program has caused an improvement in air quality,” he said.
While city officials hailed the program, there are no plans to switch its fleet from gasoline mowers to electric cutters.
“Our scope is so much bigger than small residential lawns,” Public Works Director Bonnie Teaford said “We try to get the best available technology on all out fleets.”There are nearly 25 parks in Burbank, covering 360 acres, according to the Park, Recreation and Community Services Department.
The air quality district will conduct seven exchange events across Southern California on seven Saturdays between April 5 and May 31. Residents are asked to pre-register on the organization’s website or call their office to verify their residence and register for a location.
Participants must bring a working gasoline lawn mower and $100, Atwood said.

The best selling battery-powered lawn mower company has added a bigger and more powerful model for 2008. The NEUTON® BATTERY-POWERED MOWER has undergone a complete redesign, and is now available in two configurations: a 14 in. cut and 19 in. wide-cut. Still able to be charged on less than 10 cents worth of electricity and still the quietest lawn mower available, the new NEUTON® line is able to cut larger lawns faster than ever.

Introducing the Fastest, Most Powerful NEUTON® Battery-Powered Mower:

The flagship of the new line, the 19 in. wide-cut NEUTON® BATTERY-POWERED MOWER will tackle up to 1/3 of an acre on a single charge.

It springs to life quietly, with the simple push of a button, relegating the back straining pull-cord and associated belch of fumes to a distant memory.

Incorporating feedback from over 100,000 NEUTON® owners, this wider, faster model retains many of the utilitarian innovations of its predecessor, including an easy-to-use drop-in battery that can be charged inside or outside of the mower, an integrated battery voltage level indicator and an optional trimmer and edger attachment. New enhancements to cut larger lawns faster include a heavy-duty 750 watt, 36 volt motor that delivers all the convenience of a battery mower but with the cutting power of a gasoline engine.

Additional Improvements to the NEUTON® Line-Up:

An instant hit when it was launched in 2003, the NEUTON® BATTERY-POWERED MOWER won fans for its light weight, ease of use and its production of virtually no greenhouse gas pollution. The entire NEUTON® line has been redesigned to build on the original NEUTON® mower’s solid foundation of environmentally-conscious usability and reliability.

Notable improvements to the line-up include stronger motors (500 watt, 24 volt, 32 amp in the 14 in. model and 750 watt, 36 volt, 50 amp in the 19 in. model) and heavy-duty steel Aero Blades. Bagging, mulching, and side discharge is now standard on both models. The mower housing and user controls have also been ergonomically designed to allow for easy adjustments and maximum maneuverability. Cut height can be easily adjusted from 1.2 in. to 3 in. with a single lever and the machines start and stop with a simple push-button and safety pull bar.

Pricing and Warranties:

The NEUTON® BATTERY-POWERED MOWER list price starts at $399 for the 14 in. model; $499 for the 19 in. model, with special introductory discounts currently available.

The NEUTON® BATTERY-POWERED MOWER emerged through various prototypes and was subjected to rigorous comparison testing (over 500 hours of testing and over 100 acres of ground mowed) before a final design was released to the marketplace.

In addition to a free six month trial, NEUTON® Power Equipment also offers a 2 year warranty on the NEUTON® BATTERY-POWERED MOWER.
