Protect Collection Crews and Landfill Teams. Keep Routes Moving in Winter.
Waste management operations run in every winter condition, often before sunrise when surfaces are at their worst. Collection crews step on icy curbs, frozen driveways, slick compactor steps, and snow packed alleys while moving fast with heavy loads. Transfer stations and landfill teams work on icy concrete pads, frozen gravel lanes, metal stairs, and wet zones that refreeze near tipping floors or leachate areas. These hazards increase slip risk while trucks, loaders, and compactors are operating nearby.
A single fall can injure a crew member, delay routes, create staffing gaps, and increase claims. At Winter Walking, we do not just sell ice cleats. We help waste management companies implement traction solutions that match real collection and disposal environments, keeping workers stable and service reliable through snow, ice, and freeze thaw cycles.
Why Waste Management Companies Choose Winter Walking:
- Built for Route Work and Industrial Sites
Waste crews work on asphalt streets, concrete curbs, icy sidewalks, driveway slopes, packed snow, gravel landfill roads, and steel steps on trucks. Our traction solutions are selected to grip on these mixed surfaces without slowing movement. - Supporting Route Continuity and On Time Service
Winter slips remove experienced workers from the field and can disrupt entire route schedules. A traction program reduces incidents so routes stay consistent and customers get reliable service even during storms.
- Reliable Grip for Truck Access and Fast On Off Movement
Collection work requires repeated stepping on and off trucks, lift gates, and foot rails. Ice on steel and compacted snow makes these transitions dangerous. We help you choose traction gear that supports safe footing during high frequency movement. - Aligned with Safety KPIs and DOT Operational Standards
Waste companies track OSHA recordables, driver safety, and contractor performance tightly. A proactive traction strategy lowers winter slips and supports safer, more efficient operations.
