Source-derived summary

Brady Road Landfill is a landfill in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Description

The Brandy Road Landfill is a sprawling municipal landfill located on 1777 Brady Road, on the outskirts of Winnipeg.

History

The landfill caught fire in 2012. In 2013, the City of Winnipeg began capturing methane from the landfill originally using 42 gas well, expanding to 63 in 2017. One of the pipes broke in June 2018, preventing the flaring of the gas captured from three of the wells.

In 2015, user fees at the landfill increased from a minimum of $11 to $15. In 2016, the landfill expanded services to support composting, reuse and recycling of waste.

In June 2022, police identified the remains of homicide victim Rebecca Contois in the landfill. A member of the O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First Nation, Contois was one of several victims of the 2022 Winnipeg serial killings. That year, the landfill was the only landfill in Winnipeg.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as landfill in Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q121408881. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1777, 2012, 2013 and 2017.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
