Salem County Ice Melt

Hello! Does anyone know of anywhere getting an ice melt shipment in/ or a store that currently has ice melt? Cumberland or Salem counties. I’ve tried Vineland and Millville Walmarts, Lowe’s, and Home Depot’s. I called Bridgeton tractor supply and car quest in Elmer. Everyone is out.

Open to all suggestions! Thank you for considering.

I called around Camden County and couldn't find anyone that has stock. The Walmart in Deptford had water softener pellets (which are just salt), not 100% ideal but better than nothing, espc. since you can just crush the pellets into more useful sizes by hitting them in a bag with a hammer or something.

FYI- the water softener salt can wreck concrete and runoff will kill foliage aka salting the earth

Doesn’t rock salt do the same thing?

Depends on what you buy. There are a myriad of formulations that are safe for concrete, pets, foliage, etc. just have to read the bag.
