Grit bins

Grit bins are placed at locations away from gritting routes where localised problems with ice and snow occur, typically at junctions or slopes.

We providep about 140 grit bins throughout the city.

The grit bins are put out in mid October and are removed in the spring.

Can a grit bin be removed?

Grit bins can sometimes becomes the focus of vandalism or the meeting point for youths.

If this becomes an significant nuisance, a request for the bin to be removed can be made.

The removal of a grit bin requires the prior agreement of other residents in the area before the bin is withdrawn.
