On September 1, 2021, City Council adopted an ordinance banning the use of gas-powered leaf blowers in the City. The enforcement of gas-powered leaf blowers was set to begin on October 1, 2022. As the City explores new avenues for resources, incentives, and education, enforcement has been delayed. The ordinance is still in effect and will be enforced at a later date.

Incentives are on their way! Talk to your gardener NOW to prepare for the switch! For more information and to stay up to date on new incentives, visit http://www.SouthPasadenaCA.gov/LeafBlowers.

Come by and test out an electric leaf blower for yourself. Be prepared to be blown away by the impressive power coming from these low-noise, low-polluting machines at the South Pasadena Open House on Sunday, October 2^nd from 10 am to 2 pm.
