The Brady Road landfill in Winnipeg is closed until further notice as protesters block its entrance.
The city of Winnipeg tweeted Friday morning about the closure.
Contingency plans for garbage collection and recycling are in place as the city tries to maintain these services without interruption, according to a post on the city’s website.
Protesters blocked the entrance to the Brady dump on Thursday afternoon after the county said it would not support a search for the remains of two First Nations women at the Prairie Green dump north of Winnipeg.
A city spokesman confirmed that the landfill is closed Friday morning due to the blockade.
The Panet Road and Pacific Avenue 4R depots are still open if residents must dispose of recyclables themselves, the city’s website says.
Commercial customers should contact local private landfill operators to make alternative arrangements while the Brady Road landfill is closed.
