Solid Waste Recycling Agencies For
Old Outdoor Power
Equipment
Is there an older mower just hanging around your garage, hidden behind the wooden ladders and a few years' worth of cobwebs? Give it a good home: donate your old outdoor power equipment to your local vocational school. One Agricultural Mechanics teacher commented that 50% of his course of study is dedicated to small engines and related equipment -- so old outdoor power equipment would certainly help his class!
Call your local high school or board or education for the names of vocational education teachers. The teaches themselves will be able to let you know what they can and cannot use.
In case you are unable to find someone in need of old outdoor power equipment, included is a list of Solid Waste Recycling Agencies sorted by state.
