Blow Baby, Blow – Because the Ban Starts Tuesday

(PHOTO: Rye City's annual leave blower ban starts Tuesday and lasts until September 30th. Residents may not use gas or electric blowers. Who is exempt? Rye City, of course…)

The City of Rye's leaf blower ban prohibits the use of leaf blowers (both gas and electric) in the City between May 1st and September 30th. Municipal entities, schools, religious institutions, membership clubs, golf courses, hospital, retirement communities, cemeteries and driveway/road paving and sealing activities are exempt.

Details regarding the City law are available as is a flyer about the ban in both English and Spanish you can provide to your landscaper.

There is a $250 fine if you are ticketed for a violation.
