Message From Code Enforcement: Too Much Noise!

Fall leaf season is upon us, and so are yard care contractors with their noisy gasoline-powered leaf blowers! Takoma Park has passed a law that bans the sale of gasoline-powered leaf blowers in the City. On July 1st of next year, the use of these blowers will be banned. Homeowners can request their lawn care contractors to use battery-powered or electric leaf blowers instead of gasoline. Why wait for July?

A lack of noise is offensive to no one, and in addition to the noise, the gasoline-powered blowers contribute to our air pollution issues. Please use your power as a consumer and help eliminate gasoline-powered leaf blowers in Takoma Park.
