Two men have been arrested in Sydney's west over a suspected asbestos-filled illegal waste dump.
The arrests come just days after eight tonnes of waste was found dumped in the middle of a suburban street in Chester Hill.
In the Wednesday night incident, police were called to Burroway Road at Wentworth Point to reports of a ute and a truck believed to be carrying materials that included asbestos.
Two men, aged 27 and 28, were arrested and taken to Auburn Police Station, where they remained assisting police on Thursday morning.
The men were later charged with trespass, and a police spokesman said the alleged environmental offences were being investigated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority.
