WASHINGTON — Five pop-up salt distribution sites will be open this weekend in D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Friday.
The pop-up sites will be open Saturday and Sunday to help hand out salt to residents, who are urged to bring their own bucket, bags, or box to carry the salt. Residents should wear gloves while handling the salt.
The salt can be used to address icy and hazardous conditions near homes in the District.
Availability is offered in designated time windows, and advanced sign-up is recommended.
Pickup Times:
- 9:00–11:00 a.m.
- 12:00–2:00 p.m.
- 3:00–5:00 p.m.
Salt Distribution Locations:
- Deanwood Recreation Center (1350 49th Street NE)
- Greenleaf Recreation Center (201 N Street SW)
- Kennedy Recreation Center (1401 7th St NW)
- Turkey Thicket Recreation Center (1100 Michigan Avenue NE)
- Wilson Aquatic Center (4551 Fort Drive NW)
Salt distribution will be available while supplies last.
Commercial property owners are required to clear the snow and ice from their sidewalks. Residential owners who are not enrolled in the Sidewalk Shoveling Exemption Program are also required to clear snow and ice from their sidewalks after a snowstorm.
It is recommended that the salt be used to treat problematic areas that are not highly trafficked by pets.
