Sunbury residents are fed-up with the lack of action taken to tackle rubbish strewn along Riddell Road.
Leading to the Sunbury tip, rubbish lines both sides of Riddell Road, much of which has fallen from trucks and cars.
Local resident Alan Porter said he contacted Hume council about the issue in May asking for the mess to be cleaned up, however he has not heard back.
“The rubbish has not been collected since Christmas time,” Mr Porter said.
“Someone used to come along regularly from the council and collect the rubbish, but since then there’s been rubbish, mostly fallen off trailers, and no one has made any attempt to clean it up whatsoever.”
Mr Porter said council must take action to ensure regular maintenance in the area.
The problem has been brought up in local Sunbury Facebook pages, with some commenting that the issue is getting worse.
Residents who travel the road daily reportedly see overloaded trailers travelling to the tip with rubbish flying off on the way.
One resident said the state of the road was “absolutely disgraceful”, and the issue had been there for months.
“All I want is someone to come along and collect it and have it maintained regularly,” Mr Porter said.
Council was contacted for comment but did not respond before the deadline.
