How much salt do you actually need to de-ice surfaces?
Many salts are designed so that less salt is needed to cover wider areas. This helps protect the source of our drinking water, resulting in less salt-laden runoff.
Just 1 tablespoon is needed for every square metre of paved surface.
Did you know urban streams in Southern Ontario recently had salt concentrations comparable to sea water?
When salting, just remember, less is more! Protect our drinking water and salt responsibly.
