For many reasons, but mainly because Trecan snowmelters provide a fast, safe, reliable, cost effective and viable alternative to trucking and or dumping snow. In some cases, savings can average as much as $270.00 per hour and higher using a snowmelter over trucking. In many states and provinces, snow dumpsites now have to be contained, with the melt water runoff controlled and a massive cleanup is usually required in the spring. Dumping snow in harbours, rivers, lakes or other waterways is no longer allowed and is also against the law in most states and provinces. Road salt usage is very costly, not environmentally responsible and is one of the biggest pollutants in the snow removed from city streets. It not only corrodes cars and buildings structures, but harms roadside vegetation, harming aquatic life in the rivers and the lake, and attracting wild animals to the roadsides where they often get run over by vehicles.
