What sustainability or environmental practices do you follow beyond deicing?
Quick answer: Beyond using low-corrosion ice melter, we run GPS-routed trucks to cut idle time and duplicate runs, apply salt and deicer in precise quantities, recycle used equipment fluids and parts, and operate digitally to minimize paper use. Environmental responsibility runs across the whole operation, not just what we put on the ground.
Operational practices
Fuel-efficient routing: GPS-tracked plows avoid route duplication and excess idling.
Precise material application: crews are trained to apply ice control at measured rates — no over-application, less runoff.
Strategic yard placement: multiple yards across the GTA shorten drive times and cut emissions per site.
Recycling and reuse: equipment fluids, tires, and used parts go to proper recycling streams wherever possible.
Digital operations: invoicing, contracts, and communication are paperless.
Product choices
Our ice melter is approximately 84% less corrosive than standard rock salt, which reduces damage to concrete, steel, and vegetation while performing at lower temperatures. Sustainability in snow operations is incremental — small choices across 900+ contracted sites add up.
