How about saving $100 on a new lawnmower?
The program aims to encourage citizens to replace their old outdoor maintenance tools with gasoline-free models. This reduces air and noise pollution in cities.
The city reimburses 50% of the purchase cost up to a maximum determined by the type of tool and whether purchased in Brossard (maximum amount) or elsewhere (minimum amount).
Limit of 2 different tools per year.
Only one application per tool is authorized per 10-year period, with the exception of shredder blades, for which an application is permitted every 5 years.

| Chipper blade | 40 $ | 20 $ |
| Trimmer | 75 $ | 50 $ |
