ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Salt Savvy Solutions was founded in early 2025 by Richard (Ricky) Neth, a dedicated municipal mechanic with a passion for pushing the boundaries of winter maintenance. Driven by a commitment to salt conservation, Ricky made it his mission to reduce his municipality's salt usage significantly. Starting in 2021, he successfully cut annual salt consumption from 1,600 tons to 1,000 tons—a remarkable achievement for a municipality with deeply rooted practices.
Ricky’s determination stems from a realization that salt pollution is a growing issue. Rising salt and equipment costs have placed increased pressure on municipal budgets, and Ricky believes the solution lies in tackling the problem at its core. By reducing waste and implementing smarter practices, municipalities can free up resources for other critical needs.
With a vision to inspire others, Ricky combines hands-on experience with innovative thinking to help municipalities achieve sustainable, cost-effective solutions in winter maintenance. His goal is to create lasting change and encourage others to join him in making a positive impact.
