SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Registration for the state’s 2021 lawnmower exchange program, which gives a rebate of up to $300 when residents recycle a gas mower and purchase an electric one, opens Monday at noon.

The rebates are available from the state’s CARROT Program, which was enacted by the Utah Legislature in 2014 to help the Utah Department of Environment Quality “in carrying out its mission to protect public health and the environment from the harmful effects of air pollution from mobile sources.”
