Frequently Asked Questions
How will applicants be selected?
Priority will be given to residents in areas with higher pollution in Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, and Weber counties. We will approve as many eligible participants as possible until funding runs out.
What if I’m accepted into the program but can’t attend the event on the designated date?
Someone else can pick up your voucher for you, but they must bring a copy of your ID and a signed note from you.
Can I buy electric equipment at any store with my voucher?
No. We are partnering with select stores for this program (see map of select stores here). In your application, you will choose your preferred store location. You must purchase the electric equipment from the store you selected in your application.
Where do I recycle my old gas-powered equipment?
Your old equipment must be emptied of all oil and gas and brought to participating retailers (see map of select stores here) for recycling on their designated date only.
When can I purchase my electric equipment?
$200
If you are recycling equipment
- You will check in with a store employee on the designated event date and you will receive a coupon once your equipment is successfully recycled
- You can then purchase your electric equipment using that coupon at that time and up until April 11th, 2025
$100
If you are NOT recycling equipment
- You will receive a coupon code by checking in with a Division of Air Quality employee at the store you selected on the designated date
- This coupon code will be valid until April 11th, 2025
Do I have to recycle old equipment?
No. Recycling is not mandatory, but you will receive a higher incentive of up to $200 if you choose to recycle your old equipment.
Can I receive a second coupon code for recycling more than one piece of equipment?
No. There is no additional incentive for recycling more than one item, but we encourage you to recycle more eligible equipment to maximize the program’s impact on Utah’s air quality.
What if the equipment I want is out of stock when I go to purchase it?
If the equipment you want is out of stock, a store employee will help you place an online order to use your voucher. Please note that we (the Division of Air Quality) do not manage store inventory.
What should I do if my equipment isn’t working and I need to return or exchange it?
Purchased equipment cannot be returned or refunded. However, any warranties will still be valid.
I didn’t get an application status email. What do I do?
