The contents of the bin are spread on the road during periods of icy or snowy weather. At an elevation here of about 320 metres (c1,050 ft) above mean sea level, the winter climate is significantly harsher than in locations near sea level in South Wales, so this grit bin will most likely be used several times in an average winter when the contents of similar bins elsewhere are not needed.
