Business

Some businesses like to show "concern for customers" by overuse of salt.  Attitudes are changing--being perceived as "caring for the environment" is increasingly important.  Let your customers know you use less salt to safeguard their lakes.

Using less salt saves you money

• Save money on your salt contract
• Save on landscaping--salt kills grass and plantings
• Less salt tracked into your store

Check with the company that clears your parking and walks

• Is their equipment properly calibrated?
• Don't spread salt when it's not warranted?
• Is the salt stockpile protected from rain?   No spills?
• Spreading salt after March 1 is a waste of money--snow will quickly melt
