We're excited to announce that Central Okanagan and Kelowna residents are eligible for a rebate when trading out old gas-powered equipment for new electric equipment. The rebate covers up to $150 (no more than 50% of the cost) for new electric lawnmowers, leaf blowers, trimmers or chainsaws.

 

Rebates are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Funding is limited and based on availability. For more information, visit www.rdco.com/lawnswap
