Is too much winter gritting salt a bad thing?
February 10, 2021
As the country braces for more freezing conditions and sub-zero temperatures, many facilities managers are focused on keeping roads and car parks safe, and free from ice. GRITIT are the winter specialists, and we work in partnership with you to deliver winter gritting and snow clearing services, ensuring your sites remain open and compliant no matter the weather.
When it comes to deciding how much winter gritting salt to use, it is natural to think that “more is better.” However, this is not always the case.

With more snow and freezing temperatures forecast for this week, GRITIT looks at the hidden environmental impact of using pre-bagged salt.
