In spite of considerable noise and excessive emissions, gas-powered mowers and leaf blowers are everywhere.
In spite of considerable noise and excessive emissions, gas-powered mowers and leaf blowers are everywhere.
Consider alternatives to gas-powered so we can all breathe a little easier.
Battery-powered machines sharply reduce air pollution and are significantly quieter than gas-powered versions. And best of all, comparable electric equipment is now readily available in local stores.
Ensure any leaf blowers or mowers used on your property follow the rules stated in Princeton’s noise ordinance. This means no operation before 8 a.m. Monday through Saturday or before 10 a.m. on Sunday. In addition, leaf blowers must be equipped with mufflers.
