What is Grit Bins?

Grit Bins
Grit Bin is placed alongside with the streets in snowy seasons to contain rock salt, sand and other materials that have the ability to help dissolve and remove the snow from the streets. These bins are specially installed during snowy seasons so as to facilitate the drivers and pedestrians to travel on a clean road free of snow.
 

How they manufactured
 

The Grit bins are manufactured by using heavy plastics, concrete or stones. Sometimes you also find wooden bins as well but they are rare and using wood is also not an environment friendly practice. You will also find a shovel near it inserted in its side fitting. That is used to sweep away the residue formed on the road. There are many different sizes and shapes of bins available in the market including the square, rectangular and round shapes with flat and angled tops.
 

Grit Bins Color
 

The color scheme for these bins is mainly preferred in yellow tones as a thing that is placed near sideways. Sizes differ according to the placements; large size bins are usually placed on road sides and smaller ones inside the home garages and corners.
 

How to use them?
 

Large bins can carry more rock salt and its refilling can be scheduled with gaps however in heavy snow falls you have to make quick arrangements for rock salt and sand, besides the shoveling of residue is also very important so as to keep cleaner for the drivers. It is a good practice to always keep a shovel attached with the bins as without it you could not be able to clean up the mess accumulated on the roads.

The lower portion of the bins may contain an opening for easily accessing the grits. Preparing yourself before bad weather is extremely important and it could be done in the best way by keeping all the ice removing items and grit bins at that roadside where snow accumulation is higher. Plastic grit bin is an inexpensive as well and long lasting one without getting damaged. Many companies offer significant discounts on the bins during snowy seasons. Equip yourself before heavy snow arrives.
