The excessive use of road salt is polluting the water resources we all depend on. Salt Smart practices help maintain safety while reducing pollution and saving money. The exciting new Salt Smart Certified training program teaches snow and ice management professionals how to use industry-proven Salt Smart practices that maintain safety on parking lots and sidewalks while reducing pollution and saving money. The Salt Smart Certified training is designed for management staff from organizations like private contractors, businesses, park districts, school districts, public libraries, municipalities, or others who maintain parking lots and sidewalks during the winter. Salt Smart Certified was developed for Illinois by the Smart Salt Collaborative, a program of the Conservation Foundation, and a steering committee of professionals with funding from a grant by the Illinois EPA. Individuals who attend this training program and pass the evaluation will be recognized as Salt Smart Trained for three years. Organizations with Smart Salt Trained staff can choose to register as Salt Smart Certified. Visit saltsmart.org/certified for more information.
This program includes a tour of the brine making facility and equipment that Ringers Landscaping uses to successfully (and profitably) implement Salt Smart practices in their winter operations.
There is a $25 registration fee for this program that covers the cost for instruction, training materials, snacks, and beverages.
