City of Newcastle workers have found hazardous material dumped inside a pile of garbage that was put out for a bulk waste pick-up at Carrington, which prompted a delay in collection that left the street looking like a war zone, according to one disgruntled nearby resident.
The council is working with the state government's housing authority to investigate the dumping, but would not comment on the exact nature of the hazardous material ahead of its collection on Thursday afternoon.
