When used in the park or nature reserve its noise spook birds n animals. More Dust than leaves are blown up in its operations. A total noise and Dust polluting mechanical device that should not have been approved for use anywhere in Singapore.

With working from home almost a norm now, the loud noise generated by these machines is unbearable. I can hear it loudly at the 13th floor!

Leaf blowers are UNNECESSARY and tge tool of the LAZY worker. What is wrong with using rakes??? MUCH LESS NOISY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. Will SAVE NPARKS A TON OF MONEY now wasted on diesel guzzling leaf blowers.

There are more environmentally-friendly and healthy alternatives: why aren't we using them?

In the pandemic the blowers will spread dirt, germs and possibly COVID 19 viruses shredded from infected people. Stop the use of blowers now.

I am a victim to the gardeners at the private houses. While the owners are out, the gardeners used the leaf blowers. It doesn’t affect the owners but the neighbours

It’s noisy and I don’t see the effectiveness in using it. It actually pollutes and clog the drain cos the workers will just blow into the drain.

I fully support the ban of leaf blowers. Not just a noise polluter, it also pollutes the air and is especially detrimental to the user's health and well being. And I don't see how effective it is. Wherever there is greenery, there is this to break your your short respite from insanity, and yet it continues to be used.
Please also petition for the ban of blasting music from pmds.

Leaf blowers are one of the worst inventions ever! They are noisy and mostly ineffective. A rake or a broom does the job just as well. Worse is the racket they make and at the most inappropriate times of the day!

Leaf blowers should be banned in Singapore for being a super-noise pollutant.

We live in a quiet condo compound. Almost everyday for a few hours, leaves blowers will destroy the peace. It is so deafening that the noise can be heard from the living room on my 7th floor unit. It is unbearable from the balcony where I WFH.

i was appalled when I first saw a leaf blower. By the level of noise that it creates and the amount of work that it accomplishes.
