Salt Stewardship Pledge

Fill out the pledge after going through the Salt Mini-Course.

Salt stewardship pledge

I pledge to:

Use less salt

Shovel and scrape promptly and often. Clear walkways before snow turns to ice and avoid using salt.

Scatter salt lightly only where needed. Aim for 3 inches of space between salt grains.

Reduce applying. Salt only goes on icy spots. Do not put salt on bare pavement that has no ice.

Sweep up and reuse leftover salt after ice melts. Leftover salt is a sign of over salting.

Safety first. Walk slowly and carefully on icy ground.

*This is not a Smart Salting Certification. If you would like to become certified see the MPCA link in Resources.
