LAWN MOWER BUY BACK

Did you know you could trade in your old gas lawn mower for a credit towards an electric-mulching mower? With this mower exchange, you can help reduce air pollution, prevent gas spills, recycle grass clippings and enjoy a beautiful yard the natural way.

About Mulching Mowers

Clean air and yard waste prevention are the combined goals of an effort to promote grasscycling, the practice of mulching grass clippings, using clean running electric-mulching mowers. Mulching mowers are optimum tools for grasscycling because they are designed to cut fine clippings. With mulching mowers the clippings fall between the blades, quickly decompose and naturally release their nutrients back into the yard.
