The South Coast AQMD is conducting a leaf blower exchange program through which professional gardeners and/or landscapers can trade in their old (but operational) backpack leaf blower to get a new STIHL BR 500 leaf blower for only $200.  This is the powerful low-noise 65 dB(A) low-emissions model with a suggested retail price of $469.  Up to ten blowers per business can be exchanged.

The program is only available to professional gardeners and landscapers who live and work within the South Coast AQMD's 4-county jurisdiction.  This includes most of Los Angeles County (excluding the Antelope Valley), all of Orange County, almost all of Riverside County, and the non-desert portion of San Bernardino County.  (Click here to see if your city is within South Coast AQMD's jurisdiction.)
