A 50-metre trail of asbestos-laden material has been dumped on a street in Sydney's west, close to a number of homes.

Parramatta City Council said a white tip truck dumped its load onto Boundary Road at Chester Hill, sometime between 2:00am and 3:00am (AEDT) on Thursday.

It left a trail of building waste approximately 50 metres long and three metres wide strewn along the road.

Fire and Rescue New South Wales Hazmat crews were called to help prevent asbestos particles in the material from dispersing.

The material has since been removed from the street.

Parramatta Lord Mayor Paul Garrard described the dumping as an act of "vandalism".

"This is a despicable act that definitely shows no care or concern for the community and it's the type of behaviour which is totally unacceptable," he said.

"These are cowboys taking shortcuts. They take money off people to dispose of things correctly and of course they go and dump it illegally.

"It's also the type of behaviour that is happening too prevalently in Parramatta."

Councillor Garrard said it was the sixth incident of illegal dumping in the area in the past 12 months.

"Those six occasions have all been in similar areas in the Woodville Ward, where this occurred [today]," he said.

Dumpers should be named and shamed: residents

Residents have reacted with anger at the latest dumping incident.

"We should name them and shame them," one resident said.

"This affects everyone in this area."

Another resident, Anju Kalsh, said surveillance systems need to be installed to stop the repeated dumping in the area.

"Cameras should be put up because it's always the same thing happening every time," she said.

Ms Kalsh said waste had previously been dumped on each side of the same road "many times".

She said the dumped waste had also caused traffic problems.

The Council is seeking CCTV footage of the dumping and has commenced an investigation to identify those responsible.

Councillor Garrard said those responsible for the dumping faced a fine of up to $1 million.
