Gritting advice

You can get grit from the 163 yellow grit bins located throughout the city (see map).

• You can spread gritting salt on pavements and other public footways (not driveways).    
• Use a spade or shovel to spread the grit thinly and evenly across the pavement.    
• Gritting bins are topped up twice during the winter season.

Report a problem

If there is a road in your area which needs gritting or your local grit bin needs to be refilled with salt, please contact Liverpool Direct.
