Electrify Shorewood Program Offers Lawn Equipment Rebates

Ready to trade noisy, gas-powered lawn equipment for a cleaner electric alternative? The Village’s Electrify Shorewood program is offering rebates to help residents make the switch.

Gas-powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers produce exhaust emissions and add noise to our neighborhoods. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends electric and battery-powered lawn equipment because it is quieter and produces less pollution than gas-powered alternatives. The CDC also notes that many common landscaping tools can produce potentially hazardous noise levels.

Available rebates

For a limited time, the program is offering:

• A $100 rebate for replacing a gas-powered leaf blower

• A $200 rebate for replacing a gas-powered lawn mower

Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis while funding lasts.

How to participate

1. Properly dispose of your current gas-powered leaf blower or lawn mower by following the Village’s appliance recycling instructions.

2. Purchase an electric replacement and keep your receipt.

3. Email or mail the required documentation to the program manager.

The program is supported by the Shorewood Foundation, Friends of Atwater Beach and the Shorewood Conservation Committee. It is part of the community’s broader commitment to a healthier, more sustainable future through Sustainable Shorewood.

Shorewood’s many environmental efforts extend beyond residential yards. For example, River Park incorporates permeable pavers and native rain gardens designed to manage stormwater and protect the Milwaukee River. Learn more in our family guide to River Park.

Families can also explore additional neighborhood green spaces in our guide to parks across Milwaukee’s North Shore or plan a visit to Atwater Beach with our North Shore beaches guide.

A cleaner, quieter yard and a rebate is a good reason to make your next mower or leaf blower electric.
