La Verne : Rebates for Waste-Cutters

Residents who purchase mulching lawn mower blades, compost bins or chipper shredders can receive a rebate from the city, the City Council decided Monday.

As part of its effort to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills, the council authorized a $10 rebate for mulching mower blades and for compost bins, and a $25 rebate for chipper shredders.

Residents who purchase these items can bring a receipt or proof of purchase to City Hall for the rebate.

The program will continue until the $2,000 that the council set aside for it is exhausted.
