Winnipeg, MB - Members of the public are reminded about an open house tonight on the new 4R Winnipeg Depot and other enhancements at the Brady Road Resource Management Facility (Brady Landfill).

  • a new 3 hectare complex (about the size of 4 football fields) to compost about 20 per cent of our community’s biosolids (nutrient-rich by-product of sewage treatment) in a pilot program scheduled to begin this summer, and
  • a new 5 hectare (about the size of 6 football fields) 4R Winnipeg depot, scheduled to open this fall, where residents can drop off materials that can be recycled, reused, composted, or resold.
