What bulk salt delivery involves at Roy properties
Bulk salt delivery means we bring salt by the ton instead of you buying it bag by bag. Bulk salt, applied, is $300 / ton. If you only need small amounts for walkways, bagged ice melt is $45 / 50 lb bag.
Roy gets about 1.8 days a year with 1 in or more of snow. That is not many. But light-snow days that need deicing average 3.45 a year, and the area has 42 freezing nights from October to April. Ice is the main problem, so salt on hand matters more than plow capacity.
Recent events show the range. Roy logged winter weather on Nov 22, 2010, an ice storm on Jan 19, 2012, and a winter storm on Feb 12, 2021. Two ice storm reports have been logged since 2005. Rare events can still leave surfaces slick.
