Take Action!
The San Mateo gas leaf blower ban takes effect January 1, 2027. Use the City of San Mateo’s new mobile app to report a problem.
Property owners, move your landscaping service to electric leaf blowers. You can use our pre-written letter. Better yet, buy your own electric leaf blower and instruct your service to use it while working on your property.
Speak with friends and neighbors about the new ordinance. Remember, worker safety is the primary driver for this change. Be sure to mention it!
Spread the word about the San Mateo Electric Leaf Blower Rebate Program! Residents can receive a rebate up to 50% of the purchase price of an electric leaf blower, maximum $100 rebate and commercial landscapers and gardeners can receive a rebate of up to 75% of the purchase price of an electric leaf blower, maximum $500 rebate.
