Scott Stolberg, president and CEO of AAEQ Manufacturers and Recyclers, saysthe company is proud to participate in the program that can help clean upthe air in Las Vegas.

"Exchanging dirty combustion-engine mowers will only help reduceparticulate matters that pollute our area. Gas lawn mowers areheavy-hitters when it comes to air pollution which can worsen respiratoryand cardiac conditions," said Stolberg. "We are pleased that Clark Countychose our company to serve as the recycling point for this program."

After completing an application/voucher from the Clark County Department ofAir Quality & Environmental Management (DAQEM), residents can take theirold mowers to AAEQ for recycling. AAEQ will provide residents with arecycling verification code for obtaining a new electric mower. Under theLMEP, new electric mowers, valued at $400, are being sold to residentsdirect from the manufacturer for only $99.

Clark County officials estimate that just one gas-powered lawn mower usedfor a year can pollute the air as much as 40 new or late-model cars drivenover that same period.
