The garbage has been kept there to stay out of the way of traffic but it is still causing an issue for drivers. It is a nasty and smelly mix of bottles, food wrappers, tarps and more.
At this time there is no word as to who is responsible for the cleanup. In the meantime it may be best for drivers on the route to keep their windows up to avoid the bad smell.
