Yard rebates in Duluth
3 programs can pay Duluth residents for yard projects: 2 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it, and 1 open to anyone in Minnesota. The largest, BWSR Lawns to Legumes Individual Support Grant, pays up to $400 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
