Save salt, Save money... save the environment.

Funny thing about winter ... just when you think it is past you, mother nature returns for another bout. And as we began to clear parking lots covered in snow, and spread salt this morning, I remembered something I had read recently.

I know it stopped me enough to want to research it a bit, and consider this and other "green" options in our business and our lives. So I thought I would share it...

Save salt, Save money... save the environment.

We are all looking for ways to be a little more "green" in our day-to-day lives. So, as I look out my window to several drifts of snow covering a nearby parking lot, I thought I’d share this "green" approach to snow removal.

A new liquid solution just hit the market that will save snow removal companies, cities, counties and municipalities thousands of dollars in salt costs, and is less harmful to the environment. Salt Saver http://greenicemelt.com/products-saltsaver.htm is a unique solution that is used as a rock salt stockpile treatment. It will make the standard rock salt much more effective, significantly reducing the amount of salt required to effectively de-ice your location. It makes the salt work faster, longer, and to colder temperatures. You use less salt, saving you money, and reducing the harmful effects on the environment.

By applying a small amount of Salt Saver liquid , only 7 gallons per ton of salt, you will be able to spread up to 50% less salt, cutting your salt expense in half. Depending on how big of an operation it is, this can add up to thousands of dollars! Salt Saver can also be added to salt in tailgate spreaders and effectively hand-mixed in seconds. With a small 23 oz application, it can even be added and mixed in with general consumer sized 50 lb bags of rock salt.
