Homicide Squad detectives have charged a 45-year-old Coolaroo man after the body of a woman was located at a waste management facility in Epping last week.
Staff at the Cooper Street facility located a body while moving green waste on Wednesday 3 July and subsequently contacted police.
The woman, who is still yet to be formally identified, is believed to be a 67-year-old Coolaroo woman.
