Residents can get up to five gallons of the salt and sand mixture per visit.
ANN ARBOR – As the weather turns colder and wetter Ann Arbor residents can stop by seven sites to pick up free salt or sand to help keep their sidewalks clear.
Each winter, the city sets aside mounds of sand and salt for residential use. Those who bring their own bucket and shovel can get up to five gallons of the mixture per visit.
