AAEQ was honored for its support of the "Don't Trash Nevada" program and for operating an environmentally responsible scrap metal recycling center that removes toxic chemicals from air conditioners and other equipment before recycling, according to the newspaper. AAEQ also participates in Clark County’s lawnmower exchange program that lets consumers swap gasoline-powered mowers for new zero-emission, cordless electric models at a greatly reduced price.
