Fed-up locals say they have been left embarrassed after images surfaced from outside a Coles supermarket.
The pictures taken outside of Healesville Walk Shopping Centre in Victoria show piles of rubbish close to the popular store.
One concerned local, who asked not to be identified, said she had been left mortified by the overflowing bins, which are the responsibility of the shopping centre complex, on Wednesday.
“As a local, I was mortified and embarrassed,” the 3AW caller said.
“It doesn’t set our town as a very nice place to come to visit.”
The woman said there had been terrible odours coming from the shopping centre after building management allegedly didn’t account for cleaners having the afternoons off over the Christmas period.
She said deliveries were also disrupted as trucks weren’t able to access loading docks for Coles and other stores.
People took to social media to share their disgust about the overflowing bins.
One person said the bins out the front of the shopping centre had “been overflowing since Christmas”.
Healesville Walk Shopping Centre has been contacted for comment.
