Sustainable Snow Removal Practices

Sustainable snow removal involves clearing snow without causing environmental harm or excessive resource use. This includes using eco-friendly deicing agents, such as sand or brine, that limit chemical runoff, and employing equipment like plows and snow melt systems that optimize efficiency to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, practices like snow stacking in designated areas and maintaining natural snow storage help protect nearby vegetation and water sources. Overall, sustainable snow removal balances safety with environmental responsibility by minimizing chemical use, conserving resources, and promoting ecological health during winter storm management.
