Please share this announcement with your neighborhood association and other folks in Durham:
 
 
Get Your Grass Off Gas!
 
The Durham City-County Sustainability Office is hosting two "Get Your Grass Off Gas" events in May.  Exchange gas-powered (and high-polluting) lawnmowers or other yard equipment (trimmers,
 edgers, blowers, etc.) for deeply discounted electric models.  Electric mowers and other types of yard equipment are cleaner, easier to use, and safer than gasoline versions. The Sustainability Office will responsibly recycle all gas equipment that is traded
 in as part of these events. Make sure that you responsibly drain your old equipment of all fluids before the event.
 
Saturday, May 12 at Durham County Stadium, 750 Stadium Dr.
Saturday, May 19 at Jordan High School, 6806 Garrett Rd.
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
 
For more info or to pre-order:

sustainability at durhamcountync.gov.  Pre-registration is not required, but it is encouraged to make sure we have enough inventory on site the day of the event.

 
Sponsored by the City-County Sustainability Office and Black & Decker.
