The ability to exchange a used outdoor power tool at a major home improvement retailer for a discount on a newer model is a practice some consumers may seek. This potential cost-saving strategy can apply to various types of lawn maintenance equipment.
Implementing such programs may offer advantages by encouraging upgrades to more efficient or environmentally friendly models. Historically, manufacturer rebates and seasonal promotions have been more common approaches for incentivizing new equipment purchases, while facilitating responsible disposal of older units.
