WHY SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO ORDER BULK ROAD SALT IN BRADFORD

In communities like Bradford, where there isn’t much developed public transportation, we’re more reliant on our personal vehicles. That means proper winter road maintenance by town officials, businesses, and everyone else is vital to keeping the community safe.

 

Why Summer?

 

Placing your bulk road salt order in Bradford during summer is the best way to guarantee that you are prepared for whatever winter throws at you. In fact, many municipalities around Canada and the Northern United States begin stockpiling bulk road salt in July.

 

Being Prepared

 

Like other Canadians, citizens of Bradford know that winter can hit unexpectedly and hit hard. A few years ago in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) road salt was in such short supply that an online market developed.

 

An order of bulk road salt in Bradford saves you from having to scramble to find de-icing agents after a snowstorm hits. As Mike Judy Midgley, an Etobicoke real estate agent told the Toronto Star, when you don’t have road salt you risk feeling “trapped in your own home”.

 

Avoid High Prices

 

When you have those times of short supply, and high demand you’re also going to find higher prices.By ordering bulk road salt in Bradford you are protecting yourself against overpaying and inflated prices. That’s especially important because in a tough winter, road salt is truly a necessity to get to work, to visit family, to stay active in the community, you need to be able to travel safely.

 

As a business owner, or operator, using road salt properly allows you to maintain your operations, and lets your clients feel safe to visit your business. Also, when you’re running a business the higher prices that result from a harsh winter can cut into your cash flow.

 

Safely Storing Your Bulk Salt in Bradford

 

We’ve written about how to properly store your bulk order of road salt before, but some of those details bear repeating here. If you plan on storing road salt in Bradford you need to take the climate into account. Only store salt in enclosed structures, to protect the salt from exposure to water and moisture.

 

When considering bulk road salt orders in Bradford, take the savings you’ll earn by pre-ordering and compare it against the investments you need for safe salt storage. Whether you need a few small repairs to an existing salt dome, or even to construct a small shelter, we believe it’s an investment worth considering.


When it comes to ordering bulk road salt deliveries in Bradford, summer may be the best time. Stockpiling salt early has many financial and administrative benefits, but it also will give you peace of mind. Knowing that you can deal with whatever winter throws at you ahead of time is a good feeling. Having a plan in place to cope with challenging weather means that business owners will not have to break stride when the winter weather returns.
