Information
- Dispose of shoveled snow in vegetated areas. This will allow the snow to infiltrate instead of becoming runoff.
- Use de-icing chemicals and salts sparingly. Focus on making your walkways and driveways safe, but avoid overusing or spreading in vegetated areas or near waterways.
- Start shoveling early! The more snow you remove, the less salt you will need.
- Make sure your nearest storm drains are clear. Do not pile snow on storm drains and make sure your neighborhood plow is not piling snow over the drain.
