so i have been developing my backyard park, and i have some carpet. im curious how you get ice rink snow? do you just show up at a rink and ask?

ask when they cut it and then go pick it up.

cool thanks

A shovel and pickup truck. They cut the ice many times a day and dump the zamboni usually every 3-4 cuts. Once the weather starts cooling off the piles start to stay around longer.

Although a bunch of rinks dump their ice inside so they can filter and reuse some of the water.

you guys usually ride bear right? the rink on i think 100 or 222 on the way to reading at some sports complex thing usually melts their shavings, but if you call them, they'll be glad to just dump it right in the bed of the truck for you.

body zone? they dump theirs in a pile right as you come into the driveway

might be that. we got snow from there i think like 3 years ago now, and they were melting it all then, but were happy to let us have it.

Our local rink melts theirs too, I really don't why they would go through the expense of doing that when they can just dump it outside. Never bothered to ask about it though.

so they can reuse the water to resurface the ice.

It's against EPA regulations to dump ice outside.

well all the ice arenas around me dump it all outside...so it must not be against...but i go to the one off of macarther road in whitehall...they have piles all over the place

It depends where the runoff from the melting ice ends up...If it filters through soil then it's not a problem, if it ends up in a storm drain that runs to a creek, river, lake or ocean then it's a problem.

i know UD melts theres

in something like this with 6 ft walls

haha ^ if only i wasnt working that day

ya, we're supposed to be WARMING the globe, not cooling it.

COME ON!
