I would rather they ban yard waste pick-up. People need to learn to mulch and compost again.

I'm guessing someone woke up Ms. Fine at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, she is **** off and is taking it out on everyone. That's OK, I'll fire up my gas powered power washer and spray my leaves away. Lawn could probably use some watering anyway.

I guess this means that you'll need 1000 feet of electrical cord.

You can pry my Stihl leaf blower from my cold dead hands.

I'll use my gas powered, 21 HP lawnmower to pick up the leaves then. That'll work out just fine.

I wonder what these landscaping and mowing companies will do. Seems like a lot of brooms and shovels will come into play.

This bill is so full of nonsense and loopholes it could only have been written by an idiot.

Even California hasn't banned them. You've have to have a special model, but they aren't banned.

All my lawn equipment is electric or battery powered. All sorts of bills are submitted, only to die in committee. Like not being able to pump your own gas, I think this one will die.

@kraziebill : They're just trying to put illegals out of work! Most are landscapers and lawn service workers.

It will not pass, but it would be nice if my neighbor would not use hers while we are eating dinner on our porch. Also, those really loud ones from landscaping companies are annoying. My dog goes nuts. Could they work on something else besides this and having gas attendants?

Can't wait to start rolling coal out of the dual stacks of from a diesel-powered backpack blower!

Battery powered equipment keeps getting closer and closer to gas performance. I wonder how long until it's viable for pro landscaping?
 
I have a gas blower, but our good-ole Ethanol ate the fuel lines about 10 years ago. I now just use plug-in electric blowers. Dealing with the problems of many little gas engines isn't my idea of fun.

Leaf blowers are for slackers.
 
A real rake is better for your yard.

@NoTime : As horrible as it would be to see such a monster...I would probably lol. Would just cry out 'trashy'.
