Saint-Laurent Adds Two New Financial Assistance Programs to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Saint-Laurent, March 10, 2022 – In order to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions on its territory, the borough of Saint-Laurent is adding two new financial assistance programs for residents:
● financial assistance for the use of fuel-free landscaping equipment
● financial assistance for the use of environmentally- friendly household equipment
Financial assistance for the use of fuel-free landscaping equipment
In order to encourage the use of fuel-free landscaping equipment, whether electric, battery-powered or manual, residents may receive a before-tax refund of up to $200, equivalent to 50% of the total bill for the purchase of an environmentally- friendly lawn mower, lawn edger, leaf blower or snow blower.
To dispose of old fuel-powered equipment in a responsible way, just drop it off at any time at the Écocentre Saint-Laurent located at 3535 rue Sartelon, H4R 1E6.
Financial assistance for the use of environmentally-friendly household equipment
Saint-Laurent also encourages residents to purchase environmentally-friendly household equipment for inside or outside their home. Eligible products include backyard composters, worm composters, electronic thermostats, light dimmers, motion sensors, LED light bulbs, caulking for doors, windows and roofs as well as solar panels and lamps. Residents will receive a refund of 50% of the total bill for the equipment, up to a maximum of $125 before tax.
2021-2030 Climate emergency plan
Note that these programs are in addition to those adopted last fall for sustainable personal hygiene products, including baby diapers and emergency preparedness kits. Available to all residents, these financial assistance programs meet the objectives of Saint-Laurent’s 2021-2030 Climate emergency plan (PUC), which aims to implement initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced on Saint-Laurent territory and increase the community’s resilience to climate change.
