Storing Road Salt

Canadian winters are known to be long and harsh. During the winter months, Ontario experiences heavy snowfall which makes travel and daily activities more difficult. Winter weather conditions such as ice storms, blizzards, and freezing rain can affect daily life. Therefore, snow removal companies have a big responsibility to keep roads and designated properties clean. Storing road salt in advance is a great strategy to tackle the winter season.

The amount of road salt that snow removal companies should store depends on a number of factors like the size of the company, the size of the area they are responsible for and for the severity of the winter weather in their region. It is also important to consider that during heavy snowstorms, the salt may be used more quickly than expected so it is important to have extra on hand.

Tips to store Road Salt

It is important to store road salt properly in order to ensure that it remains effective and safe to use. Here are a few tips for storing roads salt:

1.       Keep it dry: Road salt should be stored in a dry place, as moisture can cause the salt to clump together and become less effective as a de-icer.

2.       Avoid direct sunlight: Exposure to direct sunlight can cause the salt to lose its effectiveness, so it should be stored in a shaded or covered area.

3.       Keep it Sealed: If road salt is stored in a bag or container, it should be sealed to keep out moisture and other contaminants.

4.       Keep it away from other chemicals: Road salt should be stored away from other chemicals, as they may react with each other and cause damage.
