Electric leaf blowers permitted during daytime hours; new gas models banned statewide under AB 1346 as of January 1, 2024. San Leandro follows state sales ban.
San Leandro does not have a standalone gas leaf blower ban ordinance, but California AB 1346 prohibits the sale of new gas-powered small off-road engines including leaf blowers effective January 1, 2024. Existing gas units may still be used but must comply with the city noise ordinance hours: 8 AM to 8 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 6 PM weekends.
