High-Efficiency Toilet Rebates

Longmont partners with Efficiency Works to offer rebates on energy- and water-efficient product purchases from local and online retailers. Please read the instructions carefully as we cannot issue rebates for purchases that do not meet the rebate criteria. Rebate applications are required to be submitted within 45 days of purchase/installation. Used or refurbished equipment does not qualify for rebates. Limit two toilet rebates per customer per calendar year

Customers are encouraged to recycle their old toilet for FREE at the City of Longmont Waste Diversion Center. Proof of application to Efficiency Works rebate must be shown at drop off.
