A stretch along the Southfield Service Drive in Detroit is looking more like a landfill with each passing day.
WDIV spoke to a business owner who says garbage bags have been piling up for the past month:
"We've been seeing the garbage bags show up every day," Mark Maskill, an upset business owner, said.
"I saw the rats around this time of night. They come out just after dark," he said.
Neighbors don't know who is creating the mess, but Maskill said it's hurting his business across the freeway. Some said they contacted the city to complain.
"It's terribly frustrating because I operate a business, a science business in Detroit for the past 35 years and have customers from Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Chrysler through here," Maskill said. "All of these people have to drive through to get to my facility, and they ask me what's going on, and I just don't know what to tell them."
WDIV reports there's been some finger-pointing on who should handle clean up, but that it's the city's responsibility and a spokesman says the trash will be removed Friday. The official said the city had not received any complaints.
