about Brady Road 4R Community Recycling Site

Brady Road Community Resource Recovery Centre

About the project

This new Community Resource Recovery Centre (4R Winnipeg) at Brady Road is a new location for City of Winnipeg (COW) residents to drop off items that can be recycled, reused, composted or resold. The project was mostly new construction on an existing site next to an active landfill and included road works, structural, buildings and site works.

The COW council-approved Garbage and Recycling Master Plan is designed to reduce garbage and increase recycling. The depot is a convenient “one stop shop” where residents can drop off materials that can be recycled, reused, composted, or resold. It has three distinct drop-off areas, named FREE-cycle Row, FEE-cycle Row, and Garbage Disposal.
