Salt Bin Provision & Filling
Grit Bins
Salt Bin Provision & Filling
Not every site needs a fully managed gritting service. For smaller premises, lower-risk areas or organisations that prefer to manage their own winter treatment, salt bin provision gives your team access to salt when and where they need it.
Complete Gritting Services can provide the bin, fill it ready for use and replenish the salt when you tell us it's running low. Your team remains in control of when and where the salt is used, with our local teams on hand when you need a refill.
Salt where you need it
Having salt readily available means your team can respond to localised ice and frost as conditions change. Bins can be positioned at practical points around your premises, such as:
Building entrances
Pedestrian routes
Steps and ramps
Car parks
Delivery and loading areas
Staff entrances
Sloping access routes
Areas prone to standing water
Locations unsuitable for vehicle gritting
The number and location of bins will depend on the size and layout of your premises and the areas your team intends to treat.
Provision and filling
We can supply your salt bins and fill them so they are ready for use when winter conditions arrive. From there, you manage your salt levels yourself. When a bin is running low, simply let us know and we'll arrange for your local team to replenish it.
It's a straightforward option for organisations that are happy to manage their own winter treatment but want a reliable supply of salt available on site.
Supporting your gritting service
If you'd rather not monitor conditions and decide when treatment is required yourself, our commercial gritting service provides a fully managed alternative.
We can survey your site, agree the areas requiring treatment and put a clear service specification in place. Weather conditions are then monitored against agreed criteria, with our local teams deployed when treatment is required.
Our gritting service can also provide GPS and online service records, giving you evidence of completed winter maintenance activity. Visit our gritting service page for more information.
Local help from a national company
Complete Gritting Services operates through Complete Weed Control's established network of local teams across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. This means we can provide salt bin provision and filling for individual premises as well as organisations with sites in different parts of the country.
For multi-site organisations, bins can be provided according to the requirements of each location, while regional and national accounts can be supported through one dedicated account manager.
Which service is right for you?
If your team is happy to monitor conditions and carry out treatment themselves, salt bin supply provides a simple, self-managed option.
If you want Complete Gritting Services to monitor the weather, decide when treatment is required and deploy a local team, our managed gritting service may be more appropriate.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Who is the salt bin service suitable for?
Our salt bin service is ideal for organisations that don't need a fully managed gritting service and are happy to manage winter treatment themselves. We provide the bin and salt, leaving your team in control of when and where it is used.
Do you provide both the salt bin and the salt?
Yes. We can provide the salt bin and fill it ready for use. Once it is in place, your team simply monitors the salt level and lets us know when a refill is required.
Will you automatically refill our salt bins?
No. This is a self-managed service, so you are responsible for monitoring your salt levels. When you're running low, contact us and we'll arrange for your local team to replenish the bin.
Can you provide salt bins for several sites?
Yes. Through our national network of local teams, we can provide and refill salt bins for individual premises or organisations operating across multiple locations. Different sites can have different requirements depending on their size, layout and anticipated use.
What if we don't want to manage gritting ourselves?
We can take care of that too. Our managed gritting service includes an agreed site specification, weather monitoring and deployment of our local teams when treatment is required. It's a good option if you'd prefer Complete Gritting Services to manage your winter treatment rather than relying on your own team to monitor conditions and spread salt.
