Lowe’s Home Improvement, Ace Metal & Iron, and the City of Columbus are partnering to provide residents of Columbus and Franklin County, Ohio with a discounted electric lawn mower in exchange for their gas-powered mower.
Electric mowers reduce air pollution, eliminate accidental oil and gasoline leaks and spills, and allow for a quieter experience.
The Lawnmower Exchange program has taken place each spring, typically in April or May, for several years onsite at Lowe’s at 2345 Silver Drive with support from various environmental and local organizations.
The 2026 Lawnmower Exchange Event has closed.
Residents who wish to be notified for future events should follow Sustainable Columbus and GreenSpot by signing up for email updates and social media notifications.
