Philadelphia County restricts gas-powered leaf blowers under Bill No. 210957-A; commercial use limited to 8 AM to 6 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 5 PM Saturdays. A phased ban on gas leaf blowers begins 2026.
Philadelphia City Council passed Bill 210957-A in 2022 phasing out gasoline-powered leaf blowers. Effective July 2026, gas leaf blowers are prohibited within city/county limits. Until then, hour restrictions apply. Electric and battery-powered units remain permitted subject to general noise limits. Applies countywide due to consolidated government.
Fines from $150 to $300 per violation; commercial landscapers subject to license review.
