How? By turning in their gas-powered lawn mowers. Each resident who turns in his gas-powered mower will receive a $25 rebate for a new electric or push mower.

They are even going to receive a $100 discount from Northwest Natural Yard Days store if they purchase their mowers there.

But all of this will only be until Tuesday.

Mowers can be turned in at Seattle Public Utilities’ North Recycling and Disposal Station, 1350 N. 34th St., or South Station, 8105 Fifth Ave. S., from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents are asked to empty their mowers of oil and gas before they are recycled as scrap metal. Mowers still will be accepted after Tuesday, but without the customer rebate.
